👎The @who.int staff in Geneva has voted “no confidence” in the Organization’s downsizing process. They demand a freeze on layoffs, transparency in decision-making, and an independent review within four weeks. Leadership’s next steps will determine trust, fairness, and morale. #HealthPolicy

⏰ When staff voices go unheard, organizational trust is on the line. @who.int staff are raising concerns over steep cuts, lack of transparency, and fairness in decision-making. They are calling for accountability and an independent internal justice system to protect staff at all levels. 📖⬇️ & 🙏🔁

Health care has driven much of the national job growth, making up about half of the jobs added last year, according to S&P Global. Though Jaylah Dorman, 22, secured a job, she still views the market negatively and has seen many go to graduate school rather than head straight into the workforce.

As we mark #InternationalWorkersDay, we're at a critical turning point. The billionaire class has launched an unprecedented attack on public services, democratic institutions & workers' rights. The time to fight back is now. Read full PSI statement: psishort.link/MayDay25

This May 1st, PSI and its affiliates - the ILO Staff Union and UNOG Staff Union - with federations CCISUA and @FICSAHQ are mobilizing civil servants to protest in Geneva against UN job cuts affecting up to 30% of the workforce across agencies. More here: psishort.link/UNstaff25

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.
