In Malaysia, the Solidarity Center works with trade unions and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) around labor law and policy development, supply chain engagement, union organizing, and capacity building. A major component of the Solidarity Center program in Malaysia involves promoting efforts to enable the millions of migrant workers to engage with and join unions. The Solidarity Center also works to increase the capacity of unions and their accessibility to workers as they seek judicial remedies on rights violations.
