In the lead up to the FIFA Congress in Rwanda, UNI is joining with seven other global unions in sending a message to the world football\u2019s governing body and the Qatari government that widespread workers\u2019 rights abuses in the Gulf nation must end.<\/p>\r\n

The unions say that as the 2022 World Cup approached, \u201cprogress on implementing labour law changes slowed down, employer lawlessness increased, and dialogue on cooperation with some Global Union Federations and migrant workers came to an abrupt halt.\u201d Additionally, unscrupulous employers are breeching the new protections put in place before the World Cup, as scrutiny and enforcement have waned without the spotlight brought by the tournament.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt is important that Qatar understand that even though the World Cup is over, the global labor movement will not turn its back on the migrant workers of Qatar. A commitment to the fundamental rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining is long overdue and the steps towards ‘reform’ leading up to the World Cup must become more than hollow public relations,\u201d said Christy Hoffman, UNI Global Union\u2019s General Secretary. \u201cFIFA must also be held to account for its promises around human rights.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

UNI joined the Building and Wood Workers International (BWI); Education International (EI); IndustriALL; International Federation of Journalists (IFJ); International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers\u2019 Associations (IUF); Public Services International (PSI); and the International Arts and Entertainment Alliance (IAEA) in signing the statement, which can be downloaded below.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
