Trad Union and Toi project

A cautious trade unionapproach to the project

Why?•Reporting as a short-cut to avoid a collective negotiation• no third part monitoring (is this satisfactory?)

•The environmental approach is prevailing over social approach




The MSWG and the work done

• a continuous and patient confrontation • Richness linked to diversity• a correct synthesis’ role



a satisfactory conclusion in

respect of diversity


The MSWG critical point

Loss of balance between Enterprises and other membersSocial aspect disregard Enterprises’ members trained on environmental field not with human resource experienceEnvironmental ONG only UNEP resources’ lack




Guide Lines: positive aspects



•Human rights: • Workers rights•Trade union rights

•Integration of the chain of suppliers and the “destination”


The major obstacles

to focus on the more significant indices of tourism field, among these relevant importance to :

labour exploitation of minors, that, in tourism field, can easily become

sexual exploitation of minors
