The guide goes further to demand a post pandemic world where all catering workers are employed directly, have regular hours with secure employment and can access their rights to enjoy healthy and safe jobs with adequate wages, social benefits and good working conditions.

A message from IUF General Secretary Sue Longley including IUF COVID-19 Demands
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
As COVID-19 continues to spread across the globe, I am constantly impressed by the determination of our affiliates to protect members and to fight for fair treatment of workers.
To assist in the fight we have produced 5 leaflets on Agriculture, Food & Beverage, Hotels, Equality and Fast Food.
The IUF continues to negotiate with employers and to monitor their commitments on COVID-19. We are also lobbying UN agencies to issue strong, coherent policies to protect workers and to ensure that workers’ rights are at the centre of bail-out plans and recovery programmes.
Please continue to supply us with your updates, struggles and victories, for our COVID-19 page.
We continue to fight together and we will win together.
Stay safe. Keep well.
In solidarity,
Sue Longley
General Secretary
