The second LLRN webinar on ‘The Proposal for a Transnational Labour Inspectorate’ will take place on 1 July 2020. This will be held by zoom at 1pm Central European Time (CET), which is 9pm in Melbourne and 8am in Brazil. (And 12 noon in the UK).

You can now register for this event at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUrc-mqqz8sEtCFzQtwm-6cl1JK3bARQw3F
(See and feel free to circulate the flier attached.)

This seminar will consider proposals made in a recent article, ‘Harnessing Public Institutions for Labour Law Enforcement: Embedding a Transnational Labour Inspectorate within the ILO’ which is available (on open access) at: https://brill.com/view/journals/iolr/17/1/article-p233_233.xml. This emerges at a time when the need for effective labour inspection in the fields of health and safety and treatment of agricultural and migrant labour has never been more acute.
