BSR—in partnership with the Levi Strauss Foundation (LSF)—recently authored a train-the-trainer resource for under-resourced worker rights training organizations operating in the light manufacturing industry. In developing this guide, organizations including Better Work, BSR’s China Training Institute, the Asia Foundation, Verite, and CARE collaborated for the first time to share lessons learned and innovative approaches to delivering worker rights trainings.
This guide will help trainers:
- Build factory ownership of and supervisor buy-in for upholding worker rights.
- Deliver trainings that resonate with a low-literacy worker population.
- Develop session plans on topics such as contracts, worker communication, and harassment and discrimination.
- Utilize a sample tool for baseline measurements.
This guide marks the beginning of a dynamic, iterative process, and we welcome feedback from member companies testing these materials in factories. For more information, contact me or LSF’s Executive Director Daniel Lee.
