Decent Work


Just received a newsletter from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and they have a focus on "Decent Work" - see: http://www.ilo.org/global/topics/decent-work/lang--en/index.htm

It would be great if we could embed this idea within some of our courses (Canada is notoriously absent from the list of Decent Work projects and yet we know that there are many segments of the population in Canada, including First Nations people and farmworkers here in the Fraser Valley, that are working in horrid conditions and far below the poverty line).
