This podcast touches on many aspects of the global economy – corporate accountability, trade policy, and the international human rights norms meant to protect workers from abuse. But at the end of the day, it’s about workers building power. To do that, these organizers and advocates are challenging the policies, programs, and powerholders that limit their ability to organize and bargain collectively for a decent wage and safe working conditions.

Returned migrant fishers are organizing new unions in Indonesia’s seafood industry. Many of these fishers have endured years of horrific and life-threatening conditions at sea, had their wages stolen, and their dignity denigrated. Now, with support from national and international rights advocates, they are helping to educate and defend younger and aspiring migrant fishers. In this episode of the Labor Link podcast, Judy talks with Arnon Hiburong, a former migrant fisher who started organizing where he began – in his hometown of Bitung City on the island of Sulawesi.
