In an example that the ‘Global race to Bottom’ affects workers in every sector, an international campaign by journalists is being waged against Agence France Presse (AFP), one of the major global media groups. The AFP is attempting to seek to take away photographers' copyright in return for no additional payment. The contract requires photographers to sign a global, irrevocable, perpetual licence to allow the company to use their photos and videos on any medium, in any language, in any form including in any future products. There is an international campaign against this move by the AFP.
