Description
The expansion of global supply chains has been driven by a business model expressly designed to take advantage of low wages and inadequate regulation and enforcement. With a trend emerging of companies in the Americas looking to rely less on the manufacturing industry abroad, nearshoring opportunities are opening up. This session will address current issues of collective labour law in North and South America. We will focus on the importance of International Framework Agreements, the permissibility and limits of industrial action, due diligence on the activities of third-party suppliers and changes that have resulted from the global supply chain debate.
