Issues

FLA prioritizes certain issues for enhanced guidance, training, advocacy, and other remediation measures.

Some issues, such as COVID-19, require short-term attention and then fade into the normal workstream. Other issues, such as child labor or forced labor, are systemic and become a consistent part of daily work.
