Synopsis (short abstract) Collective agreements aim to define the contractual employment relationship between the union and the employer in a given economic sector . They involve the participation of workers' representatives and employer’s representatives . The state can also be an important actor involved in the negotiations. Collective bargaining agreements can be of two types : 1. To replace multiple agreements signed at a company level without negatively affecting previous agreements. 2. To establish a minimum le vel of conditions that must be taken into account in all individual negotiations of the company, both for unionized workers and for those who are not part of any workers’ organization.

    Comités de mujeres en la industria bananera 2017

    In developing countries, women represent on average 43% of the agricultural workforce. This proportion ranges from about 20% in Latin America to at least 50% in East and South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, although this proportion varies between countries and regions. In most developing regions, agriculture is the main source of revenue for rural women. They earn less than men, even when they are more qualified, and receive a disproportionate amount of seasonal and part-time jobs.

    Huella de agua de la industria bananera 2017
    Also available in:
    La agricultura utiliza el 70% del agua dulce del mundo extraída de acuíferos, arroyos y lagos. Como resultado de la creciente población, se espera que la producción mundial de alimentos aumente un 70% para el 2050, lo que tendrá un impacto directo en los recursos hídricos. Las plantaciones de banano requieren un abastecimiento de agua amplio y frecuente, y los déficits podrían afectar negativamente el crecimiento y rendimiento de los cultivos. Siendo un cultivo de larga duración, las necesidades totales de agua por año son altas, variando entre 1 200mm en el trópico húmedo y 2 200mm en el trópico seco. Dada la importancia del riego y del drenaje en el proceso de producción del banano, el consumo de agua y la contaminación han sido durante mucho tiempo un tema de interés para la industria, especialmente porque los consumidores son más exigentes con respecto al impacto de los productos que compran. En la industria del banano, las prácticas de gestión del agua han reducido significativame nte su huella de agua, definida como la medida del consumo y de la contaminación de los recursos de agua dulce para la producción de un bien o servicio.

    Trabajadores migrantes en la industria bananera 2017
    Also available in:
    The United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of all Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (1990) defines a migrant worker as “a person who is engaged or has been engaged in a remunerated activity in a state of which he or she is not a national”. This definition includes temporary migrant workers (e.g. seasonal workers in agriculture) and those coming from a different part of the same country. According to recent ILO estimates, there are 150.3 million migran t workers in the world, of which 48 percent are women. However, in the banana industry migrant workers are predominantly male. This is due to their relative ability to travel according to family responsibilities, and also because of gender discrimination in employment opportunities for women in the industry.
