The Somali Communication Workers Union (SOCOWU) has taken a proactive step towards enhancing the knowledge and skills of both workers and management. One of the key focal points of this training initiative is to foster a general understanding of the protection of workers’ rights. Spearheaded by a dedicated board member, the training is a collaborative effort between SOCOWU and the Somali Congress of Trade Union (SOCOTU), signifying a united front in championing the rights and well-being of the workforce.
Over the course of 7 days, participants engaged in a comprehensive program designed to empower them with the tools necessary for navigating the intricacies of workers’ rights. The training sessions aim not only to educate but also to create an environment that encourages open dialogue and collaboration between workers and management. This initiative reflects the commitment of Trade Unions to actively advance the interests of workers, fostering a workplace culture grounded in mutual respect and the protection of fundamental rights.
By bringing together SOCOWU and SOCOTU, this training underscores the significance of solidarity and cooperation within the trade union movement. The 7-day duration emphasized the depth and breadth of the knowledge being imparted, reinforcing the commitment to equipping the workforce with the insights and skills needed to navigate the complex landscape of labor rights and protections. As these efforts unfold, the Trade Unions aim to not only uplift individual workers but also contribute to the broader advancement of workers’ rights across the Somali labor landscape.
