Last week, Edward Miller presented findings of the report "Paying More for Less: payments and profits in Pakistan’s privatised power sector" in National Labour Conference 2026, organised by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Pakistan.
In this short video, Miller of breaks down how power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Pakistan have led to soaring tariffs, mounting public debt, and profits guaranteed for private companies — even when electricity isn’t generated.

This Public Services Day we launch our Global Framework Agreement with @uclg_org : the organisation uniting over 250,000 cities + more than 175 local and regional government (LRG) associations.
The Agreement creates the first global platform in local government for unions and leaders to unite across borders - and a new space for PSI local government unions to engage in social dialogue.
It will support unions, mayors, councillors and regional leaders to join forces to defend and advance quality local public services and decent work for PSI members.
Learn all about it here: publicservices.international…

For 4 years, Starbucks @SBWorkersUnited baristas have been fighting for a fair contract, while their CEO makes 6,666x what the average worker does.
As baristas at corporate stores are on strike, America’s unions have their backs. Their fight is ALL of our fight.

So far, this guy is the only NDP leadership candidate who interests me.
For decades, CEOs have been writing the rules. Corporate profits soared while workers' wages stagnated. It’s time to rewrite those rules.
My Worker Power Plan puts power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers.
