Issue: International Labor and Migration Rules Topic: To improve the lives of migrant workers in Shanghai Period: Core 1 __**Organization and Action Plan Brainstorm **__ Now that you have completed a case study it is time for you to create your own organization and an action plan for your topic! Fill in the information below and post the document on you Wiki. Your action plan should include the following: 1. The name of your organization For The Workers (FTW) 2. Your specific topic: We want to improve the lives of migrant workers in Shanghai. 3. The purpose- Why are you doing this action? We are doing this because migrant workers lead lives of long, exhausting hours of work, little pay and unfortunate living conditions. Their treatment at their jobs is brutally unfair; sometimes they work up to 16 hours a day, and they work every day of the week. 4. The message- Why should people be informed about this issue? We want to inform the consumers of the products made in these factories: those in the western countries. They are buying items that are made with very cheap labor by workers who have extremely poor living conditions. 5. A goal- make sure this is a project that can be done and hopefully continued We are going to raise awareness and inform those living in western countries of the migrant workers in Shanghai. When more people realize what exhausting and unfair lives these migrant workers have, they will put pressure on the Chinese government to help them. 6. A short-term plan for achieving your goal (keep it simple and don’t be too ambitious- again make sure you CAN actually do this) Our short term plan is to raise awareness, such as putting up websites and such. We want to inform people in western countries about the migrant workers in Shanghai with bad living conditions. We can go to places where there are many people so there will be local citizens and migrant workers. We will try to tell those people about the issue and hope that they can help by taking pictures and learning more about the migrant workers. We also want them to help us with the websites etc. Therefore we can make our message to the western companies more persuasive. We will also try to get some migrant workers to cooperate with us and give us more information about their lives. In addition, we hope that the citizens can help out and be nice to migrant workers in their daily life. Also, we want to send the message to the migrant workers that there ARE organizations that care for them. 7. A long-term plan for achieving your goal After we have informed a large number of people, we will try to get the information to reach those with more political power. Hopefully they will put pressure on the Chinese government to change their laws, and help these migrant workers. 8. Resources needed for this action plan -computers, internet -photos -videos 9. Division of responsibilities- who will do what? Each of us will participate in the action plan in the same way. We will work together on creating websites, finding pictures, and recruiting people to help on our quest to inform the world about our issue.
