The Firestone rubber plantation in Liberia is the largest contiguous rubber plantation in the world.
In a model for labor struggles around the globe, thousands of workers there have overcome Firestone’s efforts at union busting via subcontracting. jacobin.com/2026/07/liberia-…

In Liberia, tire company Firestone attempted to use subcontracting to break the union at its massive rubber planation.
The union overcame long odds to organize the subcontracted workers. jacobin.com/2026/07/liberia-…

After 8,000 workers unionized the massive Firestone rubber plantation in Liberia, the company fired half the workforce and rehired them as nonunion subcontractors.
The union successfully fought to bring those workers back in: jacobin.com/2026/07/liberia-…

We join the international labor community in condemning President Trump’s unconstitutional actions in Venezuela.
Venezuela 🇻🇪: @ituc and @CSA_TUCA strongly condemn the US military aggression against Venezuela and the violation of its sovereignty.
We call for respect for the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination, the immediate release of all those detained, and a return to peaceful and democratic dialogue.
Peace and international law must prevail.
