The ITUC is deeply concern by the decline of trade union rights in #Türkiye - rated 5 on our #RightsIndex25. The Labour Ministry’s unilateral move to change the start of the 8th CBA talks violates ILO standards & Turkish law. ✊🏽We stand with @kesk-international.bsky.social & 6 million workers.

Today, whole Belgium was on #strike. Except a group of construction workers, ironic enough, deconstructing the DG Employment building. Is this the EU's promise to workers?

Good news: Ismet Aslan, Giyasettin Yigit and Yusuf Eminoglu-, were released from prison after six months. They were detained under terrorism charges in October 2024. Thanks for #solidarity @ituc.bsky.social @etuc-ces.bsky.social @labourstart.bsky.social @unison.org.uk @iloactrav.bsky.social

Silencing an elected figure, Mr Ekrem Imamoglu, through unlawful practices is political rather than legal. Arresting Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul, is an attack on an individual rather than people’s will and democracy.

#NEWROZ PîROZ BE! NEWROZ KUTLU OLSUN! HAPPY #NEWROZ مبارك عليكم ع النيروز

We stand in solidarity with our Turkish affiliates in their fight #ForDemocracy and free speech. The arrest of Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is a grave attack on the rule of law and workers' rights. ✊🇹🇷

On our agenda: ▪️7 April World Health Day - we'll mark it with a spotlight on overtime. ▪️Social dialogue process for creating a resilient health sector. ▪️EPSU's work in WHO.
