Katalyst’s Martin Curley was recently invited to be a guest speaker at Cornell University’s Industrial & Labor Relations School’s ‘Labor Practices in Global Supply Chains’ course.
He joined Professor Sarosh Kuruvilla and students to discuss the role of NGOs in efforts to secure responsible business behaviour and human rights in global supply chains. Topics included the range of strategies employed by NGOs; challenges of shrinking civil society space; the complexities of cooperation across NGOs and between NGOs and trade unions; and the important role NGOs have in speaking truth to power.
