Working Hours Awareness
The Working Hours Task Force is conducting a confidential survey of commodity managers.  The survey will determine levels of awareness about socially responsible practices related to work hours, and about the potential impact this has on work hours policies by suppliers.  Participation in the survey is voluntary, but we hope to achieve a high participation rate to ensure statistically valid data.
