Abstract

Across the United States (US), farmworkers and their allies are mobilizing to encourage companies to join a Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) program. On May Day, hundreds marched in support of Migrant Justice’s campaign to convince the Hannaford supermarket chain to join the Milk With Dignity program, a WSR program focused on working conditions in the dairy industry.1 At the most recent annual shareholder meeting of Wendy’s, a US-based fast food franchise, several members of the board of directors faced opposition to renewal of their positions in response to what some shareholders perceived as Wendy’s inadequate disclosure on its efforts to protect workers in its supply chain.2 The opposition forms part of a years-long campaign by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and its allies to convince Wendy’s to join the Fair Food Program, the inaugural WSR program.3
美国农业工人社会责任模式中被忽视的独立监督与投诉调查制度的优势
在美国各地,农场工人及其盟友正在动员起来,鼓励公司加入工人驱动的社会责任(WSR)计划。五一节当天,数百人举行游行,支持移民正义组织说服汉纳福德连锁超市加入“有尊严的牛奶”计划的运动。这是一项WSR计划,重点关注乳制品行业的工作条件。1在美国快餐连锁店Wendy’s最近的年度股东大会上,董事会的几名成员面临着更新职位的反对,以回应一些股东认为Wendy对其保护供应链中工人的努力披露不足的情况。2这种反对是Immokalee工人联盟及其盟友多年来说服Wendy加入公平食品计划的运动的一部分,首届WSR计划。3

期刊介绍: The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) provides an authoritative platform for scholarly debate on all issues concerning the intersection of business and human rights in an open, critical and interdisciplinary manner. It seeks to advance the academic discussion on business and human rights as well as promote concern for human rights in business practice. BHRJ strives for the broadest possible scope, authorship and readership. Its scope encompasses interface of any type of business enterprise with human rights, environmental rights, labour rights and the collective rights of vulnerable groups. The Editors welcome theoretical, empirical and policy / reform-oriented perspectives and encourage submissions from academics and practitioners in all global regions and all relevant disciplines. A dialogue beyond academia is fostered as peer-reviewed articles are published alongside shorter ‘Developments in the Field’ items that include policy, legal and regulatory developments, as well as case studies and insight pieces.
