comments:

The seconded labour inspectors are spending at least one day per week at the MoL and are taking lead in BWJ's training initiatives with the MoL. The first group of 3 inspectors for the short-term secondment joined BWJ in August 2018. The short-term secondment will train 12 inspectors between August 2018 and July 2019. BWJ delivered classroom training to 80 Labour Inspectors on the Better Work model between 2017-2018.

action_plan:

BWJ is carefully planning the transferring process through secondment programmes, training Labour Inspectors and designing a quality assurance system (to maintain Better Work standards). BWJ is currently focusing on jointly assessing subcontracting and satellite factories with the MoL, as these factories tend to be left out of the global supply chain. BWJ is working closely with LABADMIN to ensure systematic change in the MoL. In addition, the BWJ/ILO will start facilitating a direct relationship between international buyers and national stakeholders (the MoL, Union and employer representatives).

title:

As part of Phase 3, closely monitor the MOL’s progress in developing its labour inspectorate. Transferring too many functions to the Labor inspectorate too soon would likely result in increased violations experienced by the migrant workers within the garment sector. The rate of transferring responsibilities should be parallel to the rate of improvement of inspection services across the country in all sectors.
