- 5.3. For the GFA committee and GFA focal points: set up a fluid mechanism for ongoing monitoring of GFA implementation and periodic reporting to IndustriALL.
- 5.4. For IndustriALL-affiliated unions: set up a more expeditious and appropriate support system for worker-members whose rights have been violated, and adopt a more inclusive approach towards workers from the eight "excluded" companies.
- 5.5. For staff and union representatives: strengthen and prioritize the use of official sources of information (labor inspectorate, CNaPS, labor court, etc.) and the ability to listen to the workers represented.
- 5.6. For organizers, moderators and trainers: support unions in drawing up strategic plans, monitoring and evaluation, and reporting.
