of relevance to the daily work of unions in the sector;

of unions in the sector whose trade union rights are being
denied;
- run a programme of education and
development aid to assist unions in developing countries in
organising workers and educating their members to play an active
role in their union;

and other relevant institutions to ensure that the interests of
workers in the sectors are taken into account in decisions made at
international level.
