The workshop seeks to drill down and unpack the issues from national and Caribbean-wide perspectives, while making important linkages to global campaigns.

At the end of the workshop, participants will:

• understand the important role of trade unions in effectively influencing national, regional and international tax policy;
• have agreed on clear policy positions on tax justice;
• have developed plans for campaign work on the issues;
• have recommended strategies to collaborate with private sector unions and civil society.
