Solomon Kotei
BTS: Solomon, you represent Africa on the drafting committee at the International Labour Conference. What does that involve?
SK: It is very technical work. We try to build consensus between the three parties represented at the ILO – government, workers, and employers – over the core text that the conference will adopt. This year we have been discussing supply chains and trying to open the way towards a convention. There is a great deal of negotiating to be done, and we need to ensure that while we’re compromising we do not compromise our core interests.
