TAILIEUCHUNG - WORKING CONDITIONS AND HEALTH IMPACTS OF INDUSTRIAL TREE MONOCULTURES

In the case studies, lack of institutional capacity and non-transparent processes that did not involve local consultation led to overlapping land claims, conflict, and negative outcomes for local communities. Weak land governance creates challenges to reigning in opportunistic behavior by elites, . by ensuring proper consultation with local and indigenous populations and makes it difficult to appreciate the true value of a piece of land. In many cases this appears to have resulted in land being transferred at implicit values that were well below its opportunity cost. Many initial investment projects were thus poorly conceived in terms of technical and. | wrm briefings Working conditions and health impacts of industrial tree monocultures world rainforest movement WORKING CONDITIONS AND HEALTH IMPACTS OF INDUSTRIAL TREE MONOCULTURES World Rainforest Movement December 2007 An Overview The environmental impacts of industrial tree monocultures have been widely documented as have the effects of this industry on local communities in the countries of the South. However relatively little is known about the working conditions of those who are employed on these plantations and the effects of this work on their health. The purpose of this publication is to share the information we have gathered on these issues and to promote further study of working conditions and health impacts in the many countries where large-scale industrial plantations of eucalyptus pine acacia oil palm rubber and other tree species have been established. With regard to working conditions it is striking to note that despite the diversity across countries and regardless of the type of plantation in question there are common elements that emerge in country after country. The first and perhaps most important common factor is the outsourcing or subcontracting of work. In other words those who work on the plantations are not directly hired and employed by the companies that own the plantations. Instead workers are employed through subcontracting firms while the permanent staff of the companies themselves is limited almost exclusively to high and mid-level management. This system gives rise to a series of problems for workers who are left exposed to exploitative working conditions often at the hands of insolvent employers. Moreover the system itself encourages subcontracting firms to exploit workers since they must compete with each other in terms of price and quality for access to the contracts offered by the companies that own the plantations. One of the few costs that subcontractors can lower in order to be more competitive is the cost of labour. They .
