Mr. Cassidy will provide an overview of the ILO’s global work and its relevance to the American public, with emphasis on many of the industries that are of vital importance to the Indiana economy such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and services, manufacturing, logistics and transportation, higher education, and more. As COVID-19 continues to impact individuals and the world of work, the 187 member countries of the ILO are focused on ensuring that employees, employers, and governments are all on the same page when it comes to addressing the economic and social impacts of the pandemic. Mr. Cassidy will share some of the methods that other countries are utilizing to address the urgent and immediate challenges of the pandemic in the world of work and on the responses that are proving effective, as well as the discussions being had at the multilateral level on processes for building back better.
