The David and Goliath struggle in global supply chains

Penelope Kyritsis (oD):  Can you please tell us your name and what you do.

I’m Anannya Bhattacharjee and I am a local trade unionist in India. I organise workers who produce for the global market – in garment, leather shoes and also auto parts – and am also the coordinator for the Asia Floor Wage Alliance. This is a global campaign for garment workers in Asia, who produce most of the world's clothing.

Penelope: In your organising experience, what have you seen as being the biggest obstacle for addressing labour exploitation in global supply chains?
