GSEF welcomes the issue of International Labour Organization (ILO)'s report Work for a Brighter Future - Report of the Global Commission for the Future of Work which identifies the challenges ahead with regard to workers’ rights and proposes corresponding solutions.

In view of the absence of the role of SSE in the report, GSEF has issued a position paper to highlight the importance of SSE in the future of work and presented its suggestion of including a strategic direction plan of SSE in the Centenary Declaration of the ILO during the 2019 ILC to address the identified challenges and to recognize SSE’s role in overcoming those challenges.
