Both of CNV Internationaal’s trade union partners in Mali, UNTM and CSTM, have set a crucial step towards identifying and understanding the inequalities between men and women in their organisations. They have done this by doing a Participative Gender Audit with tools that were designed by CNV Internationaal. The trade unions are demonstrating a strong commitment to eliminating gender inequalities in their union and are an inspiring example of how new leadership and taking concrete steps can create more equal and inclusive organisations. The success of this approach lies in the participatory and inclusive nature of the process of the Gender audit, that was piloted with the expertise of CNV Internationaal and its Africa office. A key tool in this process has been the ‘Gender Inequality Map’, which visually showed the differences between men and women in the unions. Are you interested in the details and implementation of the Gender Audit? Read more about the trade unions in Mali on our website: https://lnkd.in/gVQXBQcZ

Nederlandse versie staat hieronder ----------------------------------------- 🌍 How the Indonesian Population Suffers from the Electric Car Our colleagues Yuni Kurniyatiningsih and Suzan Cornelissen have made significant contributions to an in-depth article by Ilija Bozovic with VPRO Tegenlicht. This piece exposes the hidden costs of the nickel industry in Indonesia, which underpins the production of electric cars. 🔋 Indonesia supplies more than half of the world's nickel, essential for the batteries in electric vehicles. But the social and environmental impacts are devastating: 🌳 Vast areas of rainforest are being cleared, and the oceans are polluted with toxic wastewater. 🏭 Workers labor under poor conditions, often without adequate housing and safety measures. 🛠️ CNV Internationaal work closely with local unions to improve working conditions and protect workers' rights. 📢 Read the Full Article here: https://lnkd.in/ecMcVMdE #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #LaborRights #Environment #CNVInternationaal #Indonesia #Nickel #GreenRevolution #Tegenlicht ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌍 Hoe de Indonesische bevolking lijdt onder de elektrische auto Onze collega's Yuni Kurniyatiningsih en Suzan Cornelissen hebben een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd aan een diepgaand artikel van Ilija Bozovic met VPRO Tegenlicht. Dit artikel onthult de verborgen kosten van de nikkelindustrie in Indonesië, die de basis vormt voor de productie van elektrische auto's. 🔋 Indonesië levert meer dan de helft van het wereldwijde nikkelaanbod, essentieel voor de batterijen van elektrische voertuigen. Maar de sociale en ecologische impact is verwoestend: 🌳 Grote stukken regenwoud worden gekapt en de oceanen vervuild met toxisch afvalwater. 🏭 Arbeiders werken onder slechte omstandigheden, vaak zonder adequate huisvesting en veiligheidsmaatregelen. 🛠️ CNV Internationaal werkt nauw samen met lokale vakbonden om de arbeidsomstandigheden te verbeteren en de rechten van werknemers te beschermen. 📢 Lees het volledige artikel van VPRO Tegenlicht: https://lnkd.in/ecMcVMdE #Energietransitie #Duurzaamheid #Arbeidsrechten #Milieu #CNVInternationaal #Indonesië #Nikkel #VPRO #Tegenlicht

In the mines of Latin America are many safety and health risks for the mineworkers. In 2023, the mineworkers in Cerrejón, a coal mine in the north of Colombia, a groundbreaking agreement was reached: an agreement was settled between the company and the trade union, which lead to a reduction of working hours and elimination of the ‘death shift’ among others. The support of CNV Internationaal has proven to be instrumental in navigating the complexities of labour negotiations. The union was able to file complaints with the Ministry of Labour and prepare the essential documents on wages, work hours, and salary composition. This collaborative effort laid the groundwork for the agreement, and a new work schedule will implemented by September 2024.

“As workers, we were not aware of our rights in the past. Lacking access to social protection, we faced health risks and financial security. It all began to change when we cam in contact with the people from the trade union and told them about our dire situation. They helped us and in 2021 we were able to establish a union for our palm oil plantation, and I’m an active member of this union now.” Me Rom has been working at Mong Rethy Palm Oil Company in Cambodia for 10 years, and she tells us about the improvement of social security since a new trade union was established within the company. Since April 2023, NSSF cards (social security cards) have been provided to union members, due to the efforts of trade unions CLC and CAWF, trade union partners of CNV Internationaal.

Op naar Metaalconvenant 2.0! Partijen van het IMVO-convenant voor de Metaalsector hebben vijf jaar samenwerking afgesloten. Uit de evaluatie blijkt dat het convenant het bewustzijn bij bedrijven over ketenverantwoordelijkheid, risico’s in de keten en duurzame wet- en regelgeving heeft vergroot. De meerwaarde van een convenant blijkt sterk uit onze samenwerking met Tata Steel Nederland om te werken aan het verbeteren van arbeidsomstandigheden en gezondheidsrisico’s in mijnen in de Andresregio (Peru en Bolivia). De partijen van het convenant zijn gemotiveerd om de samenwerking in de toekomst voort te zetten. Een taakgroep zal de komende periode Metaalconvenant 2.0 verder vormgeven. CNV-Internationaal is ook weer van de partij en zal zich sterk maken voor een concrete invulling van het convenant zodat de posities en arbeidsomstandigheden van werknemers in internationale metaalketens verbeteren.
