28 April, 2009New reports covering the activities of the IMF Secretariat and affiliates over the last four years are now available to download on the IMF World Congress Website.
GENEVA: The Report of the Secretariat report details IMF work against the 2005-2009 Action Programme.
Including an introduction from outgoing IMF General Secretary, Marcello Malentacchi, the report provides analysis on successes, and remaining challenges to improving metalworkers' wages, working and living conditions.
As well as providing an evaluation of different strategies, the report makes recommendations on future actions required by the IMF and affiliates in order to achieve our goals.
Compiling country by country reports in alphabetical order, the Reports of Affiliates provides a snapshot on the circumstances for metalworkers globally.
For the first time IMF affiliates were asked to specifically report on the situation for precarious workers and how unions are responding.
Both reports provide crucial information for delegates' preparation for the IMF World Congress.
All Congress delegates will receive a printed copy of both reports in their Congress kit when they arrive in Gothenburg and electronic copies have already been circulated.
