How do I convince my school board, university or municipal government to adopt a No Sweat policy?
To win a No Sweat policy, you will need the support of students, teachers and/or community members. A successful campaign requires a commitment of time, effort and resources. Typically, a No Sweat campaign is a two-stage process. First, you and others in your school or community will have to demonstrate sufficient support for the policy to convince your school board, university, or municipal government to adopt a motion to develop the No Sweat policy. Second, you will need to work with the institution’s staff and other interested stakeholders to achieve consensus on the minimum labour standards and implementation provisions of the policy. The agreed upon policy may or may not need approval from the governing body of your institution before it is implemented. For more information click here.
