promoting labor rights & social justice in Georgia

Georgia Fair Labor Platform

The Georgia Fair Labor Platform is an informal alliance of independent trade unions, civil society organizations and activists working to improve labor conditions for workers in Georgia. We also act as a solidarity network for our members, offering mutual assistance and support on issues of concern.

Our key focus areas include:

Effective labor inspection

We monitor the work of the Labor Inspectorate through our Workplace Safety Monitor, and advocate for the Inspectorate to be strengthened, to better protect workers’ health and safety.

Living wages

We advocate for a long-overdue increase to Georgia’s minimum wage, and fight to make sure workers get the pay they deserve.

Stronger, better unions

We strengthen independent trade unions, by building their membership and making them more effective. We are also advocating for their inclusion in the tripartite committee.
