[ ‘SHARE’ Mar-Apr 2013 – Between City and Village ] STEP INTO THE WORLD
Many villagers in Wufeng County in western Hubei are migrant workers but they lack basic labour law knowledge and there is no liaison organisation to help, so whenever a labour dispute arises or hardship falls, migrant workers are on their own and helpless.
To promote connection amongst migrant workers originating from Baiyanping Village of Wufeng County, CEDAR builds effective enquiry platforms and social support networks so that through channels like mobile text messages, message boards on the internet, contact cards and blogs, migrants can get the latest information on labour and daily living, enhance their bargaining power when they look for work. Further, labour dispute settlements are facilitated through referrals, and CEDAR sets up training on parenting, finance management, occupational safety and labour rights.
Please support the Hubei migrant workers project financially to safeguard their rights:
HK$200> will financially help 5 migrant workers with four work related training sessions each
HK$400> will provide 10 migrant workers with information on labour protection and practical living
