GLI is pleased to announced that our new ITF Baseline Survey Report on Precarious Labour and Decent Work in the Transport Industry is now available to view and download.

This report brings together findings from 51 unions in 38 countries.

Its goal was to improve knowledge of the extent, nature and trends in precarious and informal employment in the major transport sectors, and to identify the experience of union organisation, representation and collective bargaining among precarious and informal workers.

This research and publication was comissioned by the International Transportworkers’ Federation.

GLI is pleased to announce that our new research report Transport Workers in the Urban Informal Economy: Livelihood Profile is now available to view and download.

This report was commissioned by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to profile the size and significance of those working in the urban informal transport sector in developing and transition countries, and to make suggestions on what can be done to improve the life-chances and livelihoods of urban workers in the informal transport economy.

GLI is pleased to announce that our new Workshop Report on Organising Street Vendors in Liberia is now available to view and download.

This workshop was organised and facilitated by Women In Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) with two closely related aims:

• to strengthen the organising capacity of the National Petty Union of Liberia (NAPETUL)
• to explore the potential for a longer-term partnership between NAPETUL, the Liberian Labour Congress (LLC), Ghana TUC and StreetNet International.

This is the report of that workshop, held in Monrovia in May 2011.

This research and training was commissioned by Realizing Rights/Rockefeller Foundation as part of the project Taking Stock: Decent Work Opportunities for Women and Men in the Informal Economy.
