Statement by AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Tefere Gebre on ensuring that an independent FIFA reform commission addresses human rights and workers’ rights
There is a desperate need for fundamental, comprehensive reforms within FIFA, including its labor and human rights criteria, host selection process, and systemic discrimination and outdated sexist attitudes. Corporate sponsors must continue to come forward to demand an independent and autonomous reform commission to address workers’ rights and hold FIFA and its high-profile events accountable to the highest possible standards. The lives of thousands of workers depend on it.
