Our food systems cannot function without workers. So why are so many exploited?
Low pay. Unsafe work. Insecure jobs. Wage theft. Forced labour.
Our new #FoodWork report exposes the exploitation running through the global food chain, and how to end it.

ALT Exploitation is rife across the entire food chain
Not surprised by what Ongama said because whilst we were busy joining and leading student political groups at RU in the early 2000s, he was a leader of a staunch born-again Christian society.
RU was lily white back then and students from township/rural schools from the EC were a tiny minority.

Newsrooms need to get rid of the stigma of being part of a union. I believe unions are essential for the sustainability of newsrooms. Many young journalists leave the field because their editors bully them, and they can't get help from SANEF since it's their editors' chommies!

A 90-day ‘temporary’ halting of these programmes which provide access to life-saving meds, education, research studies and jobs to millions of people worldwide is deeply concerning and devastating news to people who rely on these services to survive.

I condem the death of a 3rd physician from Gaza while in Israeli custody and renewed calls for the protection of healthcare workers in the occupied Palestinian territory.

The xenophobia in this country is unbelievable. It's absolutely disgusting that a child was kidnapped, and all we're asking for is to share the post. Yet people respond with anger, ignorance, and xenophobic accusations against the mother. I hate it here.
