DESCRIPTION

LEARN membership is mainly on organizational or institutional basis, particularly through the various working people’s organizations. But it is also open to individual trade unionists and worker educators. Member organizations are those that formally join LEARN and regularly pay dues; thus, are entitled to all the rights and privileges of being full-fledged LEARN members. For one, they have representatives and can participate in the General Conference (GC) – LEARN’s highest decision-making body – as well as in the Board of Trustees (BOT) and its Administrative Committee (Adcom). Non-member organizations that avail of any LEARN services or programs or with existing project cooperation or maintain some form of coordination with LEARN are considered partner organizations.

At present, LEARN member and partner organizations in the Philippines include a national labor center of private sector and informal workers; a national confederation of government employees; labor federations (general, industry, sectoral); workers’ alliances (according to a specific area, industry, sector, or conglomerate-based – such as of unions in a particular TNC/MNC or trans/multinational corporation); independently registered local unions; women organizations; community-based groups; mutual aid or self-help associations; cooperatives; NGOs; a multisectoral ideological bloc; and a political party (party-list).

Aside from this, LEARN continues to maintain, develop and open new linkages and cooperation with different organizations abroad, including several global unions or global union federations (GUFs) of the international labor movement; trade unions and NGOs in other countries; and several international institutions or organizations involved in various social advocacies.
