Promoting decent work in distant water fishing depends on strong collaboration between workers, the private sector, and government. In this session, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) will share case studies of effective partnerships forged with worker organizations, seafood processing companies, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to support good working conditions in fishing. USDOL will also facilitate a roundtable discussion on the roles that tripartite partners can play in upholding the rights of fishers.
