Local Abstract: [PIP] As AIDS continues to decimate the workforce on most continents, and especially in Africa, governments, unions and employers are taking various steps to fight the disease. As part of the continuing series of reports by the International Labor Office, this paper examines the health condition of workers in Uganda. It is shown that Uganda was the first African country to openly acknowledge the gravity of the AIDS epidemic and develop a strategy to fight it. In the country, AIDS is no longer perceived as a public health problem, but as a broader social issue. The impact of this problem falls mainly on workers especially the poor. Labor unions efforts still remain at the stage of providing information due to lack of resources. Although, knowledge of AIDS risk is already well known, many still do not know any method of protection and its application. Unions in Uganda are not considered direct major players in the fight against AIDS, however, they can help improve the working conditions and the lives of the workers. The paper highlights the need for a multifaceted action to improve the worker's lives, care for persons infected with HIV, and ease the socioeconomic effects of AIDS. - Publication Date: Date Created: 20020926 Date Completed: 20001206 Latest Revision: 20181130
