So proud of the work @uniglobalunion, @IndustriALL_GU and the brands have done together since 2013. Millions of factory workers now have safe workplaces and a voice on the job. Building on this we will continue our work with the @brandbgmea to sustain the work.

BREAKING 🇵🇸 Moments ago, the Global Sumud Flotilla (@gbsumudflotilla) was violently intercepted by Israeli Occupation Forces.
Hundreds of participants — including @davidrkadler, Co-General Coordinator of the @ProgIntl — are being abducted.

The Israeli government has seized vessels in the #SumudFlotilla. Peaceful activists bringing aid to Gaza have been captured. We demand their immediate release and safe delivery of humanitarian supplies.

🚨UPDATE: @AdalahEnglish is reporting that all #Handala crew members - including UNI colleague Hatem Aouini - are out of Israeli custody.
We must ramp up pressure on world leaders to take urgent, decisive action to bring the suffering in #Gaza to an end.
🚨 The #Handala was delivering vital aid to Gaza when intercepted in international waters.
Now, 14 volunteers-including our UNI brother Hatem-are detained, on hunger strike and cut off from everyone apart from their lawyers - even their families.
Demand their freedom NOW!

Hoy estuve presente en la reunión del Comité Directivo Mundial de @uniglobalunion.
Estamos presenciando una ofensiva global de las grandes corporaciones que buscan una desregulación total de nuestras economías. No sólo intentan arrasar con nuestros derechos laborales, sino también avanzar sobre la cultura, la educación, la salud y los derechos de las minorías.
Desde el movimiento sindical argentino y mundial, junto a @uniglobalunion, vamos a seguir organizándonos y resistiendo esta embestida. No vamos a ceder frente a quienes quieren un mundo sin derechos ni justicia social.

🗓️ This 8 May, we #TakeBackDemocracy!
🗣️@luc_triangle says it clearly:
“Billionaires are not just hoarding wealth — they are hijacking our democracies.”
Behind far-right politics and collapsing public services is a coordinated billionaire coup — silencing dissent, crushing unions, and dividing workers.
✊ 80 years after defeating fascism, we demand bold action to dismantle billionaire power and build a new social contract for working people.
📢This is a fight for dignity, justice, and democracy.

📢 The ITUC welcomes the @ILO Governing Body's decision to shift Palestine’s status from ‘liberation movement’ to ‘non-member observer state’.
ITUC General Secretary @luc_triangle said: “This recognition by the ILO is a sign of hope and solidarity with the Palestinian people, who face immense challenges to their human and labour rights. Recognition of the State of Palestine is essential for sustainable peace and two viable states living side-by-side in security.”
