Through this Program, the Rwanda Extractive Industry Workers Union focuses on advocating for labor rights, safety, and health in the workplace for workers in the extractive industry. The union works to ensure that workers are treated fairly, have access to safe working conditions, and are provided with proper health and safety measures.
The program advocates for fair wages, reasonable working hours, and protection against discrimination and harassment. It also works to improve safety standards in the workplace, including providing proper training and equipment to prevent accidents and injuries.
Additionally, the union works to ensure that workers have access to healthcare services and support for any health issues they may face as a result of their work in the extractive industry.
