The project will achieve its goal through the following objectives: 1) improved education of workers regarding their rights with respect to short-term employment contracts and subcontracting, and 2) improved representation of workers before employers and the government to address abusive forms of short-term employment contracts and unlawful subcontracting. The project must target workers’ organizations and workers in non-traditional export sectors in Peru, with an emphasis on those sectors where abusive short-term employment contracts and unlawful subcontracting are widely used.
