Climate Change, Labor Standards, Migration and Unions: What will the Future of Work Look Like?
Alison Tate is undertaking a fellowship at the Transnational NGO Initiative from March 17th-28th.

What role can alliances with civil society play in finding solutions to the many intersecting issues relevant to the future world of work?

She has served as a consultant/expert to a number of international development and human rights NGOs and with the Better Work program of the ILO and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), advising on trade union capacity building and labour standards compliance.
