As waste pickers around the world prepare to commemorate International Waste Pickers Day on March 1, workers in Senegal and Italy suffered catastrophic losses when police evicted them from their workplaces, while workers in Canada continue to struggle for decent work under new extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation.
The International Alliance of Waste Pickers (IAWP) is seeking candidates for the position of General Secretary.
We are thrilled to take this moment to invite you to countdown with us to a landmark moment for waste pickers from around the world, the IAWP 1st Elective Congress (2024).
The IAWP joined a Global Labour University event in Paris with delegates from 28 countries discussing union history, worker organization, feminism, and environmental issues to promote global solidarity.
