Worker-to-worker exchanges are a powerful educational tool that:

• develop solidarity between workers in the North and the South
• strengthen the work of the SJF on labour rights and equity
• develop a stronger union base against privatization and corporate globalization, and for the defence of quality public services

The consolidation of our program overseas is opening new opportunities for worker-to-worker exchanges that will allow us to share union goals and challenges with our partners in the Global South. These opportunities will help us develop common strategies to fight

• privatization
• the imposition of anti-labour free trade agreements
• investor state agreements that are eroding democratic governance around the globe
