Sri Lanka'S Trade Union Urges The Government To Create A Level Playing Field For Garment Workers.
With regard to the question of the United States reviewing the GSP system in Sri Lanka, there are some misleading claims and inconsistent reports in the media.
Sri Lanka
The Federation of trade unions (TUC) thinks it is necessary to clarify the true situation of the GSP to the public.
This clarification can eliminate any groundless fears and misunderstandings.
The GSP preferential tariff system in the United States has granted substantial tariff reductions to certain products exported from Sri Lanka to the United States.
This is a preferential treatment, or a preferential treatment for certain countries with good labour standards, if laws and practices are consistent with the International Labour Organization (ILO) convention.
So it is not a question of market access, but it is obviously a question related to privileged treatment.
The union of labor and industrial organization (AFL-CIO) has submitted an indictment to the US government, many of which focus on the fact that many employers in the clothing industry have done a lot of systematic and systematic violation of labor laws, and have been recognized by the labor law enforcement authorities.
It is claimed that the purpose of the GSP is to review local labour laws.
This statement is groundless.
GSP reviews are mainly the illegal events listed in the indictment and the specific circumstances arising therefrom.
A major prosecution has not yet taken place since the law was passed more than 10 years ago against unfair labor practices.
The law becomes a virtual empty essay.
Geneva
International Labour Organization
All prosecutions received by the quasi judicial organs in recent 20 years involve organizations in the clothing department of Sri Lanka.
Low wages and excessive labor pressure have a significant impact on women's clothing workers.
A government report released in 2007 said that compared with women engaged in security services, clothing workers were chronically malnourished, the level of anemia was shocking, and workers' health deteriorated.
Because of these terrible exploitative nature.
work environment
Workers are leaving the garment industry, and many jobs are vacant today.
According to repeated reports by local media, employers find it hard to hire workers, so they have to attract workers with various strategies.
The actual situation of these women workers is far from what the outside world expected.
Now that the time has come, Sri Lanka should stop this lawless exploitation.
The Federation of trade unions strives to put an end to the politicization of employers in the execution of labour laws, and create a fair and fair competition environment for garment workers and trade unions.
If it is not politicized, it ensures that the workplace has an atmosphere of respect for the law, so that workers can get better results and help workers feel satisfied with the working environment.
Reducing the political pressure of the government.
The Union hopes that the government will accommodate the plight of the garment workers.
The union urged the government to immediately start a real and constructive advance in related issues so as to rectify the order and save the US GSP in Sri Lanka.
