17 June, 2014The World Trade Organization (WTO) is conducting a global survey asking people what they think about international trade and how it affects their lives.
The WTO is a worldwide forum for governments to establish rules and agreements on trade.
Although a feeble attempt at public inclusion, the survey is an important opportunity for people to let the WTO, a powerful international organization, know what they think.
The WTO frequently negotiates trade policies that put investors and multinationals first at human cost. While trade across borders can benefit workers and society, it should not be done at the expense of workers’ rights and the environment.
IndustriALL is committed to confronting global capital and challenging the power of multinational companies through promoting the rights of trade unions and workers.
Many of the WTO’s survey questions are loaded but it does give you the chance to have your say.
