...just posted on my personal LinkedIn...help spread the word
This...from my morning news read. So many intersections here with the work Meeting Professionals Against Human Trafficking (MPAHT) does, the work of Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking, The Mekong Club and so many others. How can we in the hospitality/conference/events world take action? Planners: Ask the questions on your RFP to venues: Do you, Venue, understand the supply chain for your agricultural products (whether they are produced in Canada or elsewhere in the world)? Venues, etc. what is your venue/parent company doing to determine fair supply chain to eliminate indentured labourers; paying fair wages; etc.? Ask questions-get answers-open conversations. I've not seen the actual Toolkit AND I salute the University of Windsor and TMU for doing this. And take this further, ask what your local grocery stores that you personally shop in what they are doing! We can make a change.
