    • EXPORT PROCESSING ZONES OR FREE ZONES - THE EXPERIENCE FROM A TRADE UNION POINT OF VIEW

  • Jesper Nielsen, International advisor of the United Federation of Danish Workers (3F) says: Free zones, or export processing zones have swelled in number over the last 30-40 years to a global total of more than 5,000 zones. Today, there are 43 million workers employed in such zones, of which the majority are in China’s Special Economic Zones. But their future is unclear. Along with growing restrictions from international trade rules, free zones face several complaints, such as: •The administration is legally complicated and conflictive •The revenue loss they entail is simply not worth it •They represent unfair international competition and accelerate the race to the bottom •The workers are denied their basic rights •Free zone companies don’t pay the social costs of production and may be creating a health and environment “time-bomb” in developing countries.

Many countries have adopted ILO Convention 182 on eliminating the worst forms of child labour, and labour inspectorates now integrate relevant activities within their own work programmes. However, there is a need for more information and assistance on this subject in order for labour inspectorates to deal with the challenges effectively.
