I thought Nate Menninger's film was one of the most telling an insighful vids. on UKC last year and made a lasting impression on me. I'm really not sure that the UIAAs initiative to champion Mountain Workers is necessarily in workers or consumers interests to partner with an employers organisation such as the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal? Nate's film focuses on the shocking working conditions in regard to welfare facilities, footwear, and arbitary rates of equally shocking rates of low pay. My question to any BMC reps reading this is why hasn't UIAA worked with GEFONT and the Union of Trekking, Travel, Rafting and Airline Workers?
