The website is part of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) campaign to foster a greater understanding within the trade union movement on the island of Ireland about the causes and effects of global poverty and inequality.

Focussing on what are known as the 'core labour standards' of the International Labour Organisation, the website will serve as a useful starting point for anybody seeking information and ideas for action in pursuit of workers rights in the global economy and to promote a globalisation that serves the needs of all the world's peoples.
