Animal Labour Union

Cows produce milk, chickens lay eggs, a police dog assists in maintaining order. A bee pollinates the flowers in the area and a pig grows to end up as meat. All forms of animal labour. Animals that have an added value, provide a service or a product to his or her owner and employer.

Recognition and better conditions

The Animal Labour Union strives for recognition of (a form of) labor rights for working animals. In doing so, we are doing nothing other than what the traditional trade unions were once aimed at: striving for a fair balance of power between employer and employee in the workplace.

We also fight for better working conditions. Working animals have the right to a safe living and working environment, free time and pension. Maternity and parental leave is also a theme. In addition, the trade union for animals wants attention for (limiting) the production capacity of the animals.
