What We're Asking:
- Are legally-binding partnerships effective for defining dignified treatment in wages, schedules, housing, health and safety, and protection against harassment, discrimination, and retaliation for workers in the dairy industry?
Are independent monitoring bodies appropriate entities for keeping dairy companies accountable to agreed upon standards?
Is this model for enforceable standards scalable and replicable to different industries?
