Episode 2 – Business as Usual?
Welcome to the second episode of Fishy Work Podcast! We will continue our discussion of Fishy Work once a month. This episode we welcome the great insights from Prof. Miriam Wilhelm and Prof. Andrew Crane on how local civil society became a key actor in pushing for labour rights in seafood supply chains. It is about time to understand how 'business as usual' is being interrupted by social intermediary (check out the paper)!
Global scandals exist because there are still bad practices in supply chains, right? But global scandals do not do much positive impact if nothing change on the ground. This episode gives a concrete example of how global scandal is being addressed by emerging actors like labour NGO, who have been front and centre in pushing for a better labour rights for fish workers and work in seafood processing plants. Moreover, it is important to unpack how contextual knowledge, legitimacy and the embeddedness of these front-line NGOs work together with seafood company in favour of the workers.
