CEC LABOUR FILE
A Dynamic Website Powered by a Content Management System |
| |
| CEC, the parent organization of Labour File, wanted to juxtapose its offline journal and literature
with the online platform, by transitioning online, a storehouse of stories of hope, aspirations,
despair, struggles and alternatives of workers and their organizations. By implementing
LabourFile.org, Icreon has precisely achieved this, by bringing to the end-user, information with the
perspective that has a firm grounding in the local situation, while being open to the global, political
and economic processes and the probable impact it may have on the workers in the country. |
