A trade union focus on the SDGs - Latvia
In terms of access to information on the SDG implementation process, the picture doesn’t look too bleak in Latvia. Trade unions report being able to provide their input and welcome the fact that part of their recommendations are being taken on board, but the process remains informal and too much on an ad hoc basis. Efforts need to be done to strengthen sectoral collective bargaining, to increase workers’ income, and to decrease the percentage of the population at risk of poverty.
