ITUC Global COVID-19 Survey: Half of countries in lockdown as COVID-19 pandemic wreaks health and economic havoc on working people and their families

The International Trade Union Confederation conducted a survey regarding how countries are responding to the COVID-19 crisis and what sorts of impacts from closures, shelter in place orders, or a complete stop of the economy outside of essential workers will be felt in the short and long term by workers. This survey is meant to assist unions, workers, and governments in putting in place the appropriate legislation, measures, and responses to not only combat COVID-19 but protect their citizens from the massive economic disruption that these protective measures have caused.
