A new publication has been released in the international journal ILAW \u2013 The Global Labour Rights Reporter. The article \u201cLaw in the Service of Workers: Building Social Movement Unionism in Ukraine\u201d by experts from Labor Initiatives and the Solidarity Center \u2013 Inna Kudinska, Tristan Masat, and George Sandul \u2013 shares the experience of creating and developing Ukraine\u2019s first national free legal aid center for workers and trade unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The piece highlights an approach in which \u201cLabor Initiatives\u201d legal support functions as a service to strengthen the trade union movement and build communities of solidarity. In the context of war, economic instability, and ongoing pressure on labor rights, this model helps workers not only defend their rights, but also organize and grow their collective power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The article presents practical case studies \u2013 from domestic workers and platform couriers to unions in multinational companies \u2013 illustrating how legal expertise, media work, and solidarity combine to support worker organizing even in the most challenging times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
