UNI Americas\u2019 Media, Entertainment & Arts department <\/em>(UNI Americas) and the International Federation of Actors with their affiliates in the Latin American region<\/em> (FIA-LA), are launching a <\/em>three-week<\/em> campaign <\/em>to change the unacceptable working environment in the <\/em>arts and <\/em>audiovisual, <\/em>radio, <\/em>live <\/em>performance and <\/em>entertainment <\/em>production in Latin America.<\/em><\/p>\r\n Beginning Thursday, 11 July, FIA-LA and UNI Americas affiliates across Latin America will launch a social media drive calling for safer, more inclusive and respectful workplaces. Over the course of the campaign, unions will call on employers to unite with workers to build violence-free workplaces and encourage national governments to ratify and implement the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 190 on Violence and Harassment in the workplace<\/a>. The convention outlines the responsibility of employers to provide adequate resources for both preventing and addressing incidents of violence and harassment in the workplace.<\/p>\r\n The campaign is part of a broader initiative to promote the endorsement and implementation of the FIA-LA\/UNI Americas Charter of Cooperation<\/a>, presented to regional affiliates in Bogota, Colombia, in December 2023. The Charter is a document set to provide tools and good practices for unions in the prevention of and attention to behaviours that constitute discrimination, harassment and violence in this sector.<\/p>\r\n
