- Abstract
In order to better the living and working conditions of their members, trade union confederations have many financing sources. The text is related to social solidarity which is important for trade unions. Throughout this article, the author sorts out the terms for more effective funding of the Ivorian trade-unions. This research lays the emphasis on a literature review, an examination of texts related to Ivorian social law, texts of the General Union of Ivorian's workers (GUIW) and DIGNITY. Also it is based on data collected from interview with leaders of GUIW and DIGNITY. Without being exhaustive, first we present the funding sources in various part of the world. Then we glance at the Ivorian context based on current legislation on the funding of trade unions federations and empirical evidence on this issue. Finally, we suggest some ways to boost trade-union and improve their funding in order to fulfil efficiently their mission.
