Mayday 2025: Building Worker Power in Fiji’s Garment industry

Join us for an engaging evening celebrating International Workers’ Day 2025 with a focus on Fiji’s garment industry.

In conversation with Jotika Gounder-Sharma, Executive Officer of the Fiji Trade Union Congress (FTUC), exploring the challenges faced by garment workers, from low wages and unsafe conditions to the impact of the industry’s decline.

Discussions will delve into the FTUC’s organising efforts, strategies to overcome employer resistance, and recent victories in improving wages and conditions. The conversation will also examine the political context of Fiji’s garment sector and the critical role of international solidarity in driving meaningful change for workers.

We are delighted to be welcoming Jotika to Aotearoa for this special event!
