Apologies for the occasional typo in that whirlwind account of our international seminar. We hope we still did justice to the excellent contributions from our guests from around the world.

We're ending our @tucglobal.bsky.social seminar with a round of questions. Liv from Norway raising two issues: we need to stay united as a movement, noting division in the anti-apartheid movement & that the same is true today; We must build strong democratic TUs in Palestine.

The second panel of our @tucglobal.bsky.social seminar at Congress '25 looks at international law in the context of the continuing assault on Gaza. Shaher Saed from the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions opens up.

The first panel question goes to @ituc.bsky.social leader Luc Triangle, on how we should respond to Trump's tariffs. He dwells on the threat of far right governments, & the culpability of democratic governments in allowing inequality to rise, seeing the share of GDP going to workers plummeting...

A fantastic win for workers at the ILO. Huge amounts of work still to do, in the face of entrenched opposition from some employers and a few governments, but the simple fact of bringing most of the governments of the world with us gives us a massive opportunity ✊ www.ituc-csi.org/global-win-f...

DiSK leader Arzu Çerkezoğlu describes how the state interferes in independent unions, including by deleting the records of members to claim the union is unrepresentative. They even deleted her! #globalrightsindex2025 “The global rights index is a statement of resistance!” she adds.

📢 UNI Global Union condemns the violent arrest of David Huerta, President of @seiucalifornia & @seiuusww, who was injured and detained while observing and documenting a violent ICE raid in Los Angeles, California. Full statement ⤵️

Stoking fear about immigrants, raiding schools and hospitals, and mass deporting people whose labor makes our country prosper is not only a betrayal of our values—it’s also a recipe for economic disaster. The real threat workers face? Corporate greed.

The TUC is proud to have supported this complaint at the International Labour Organisation. We have serious concerns about migrant workers in Saudi Arabia, including those involved in preparing for the 2034 World Cup.

The @tuc.org.uk is horrified to see the violent attack which occurred during a demonstration by Ver.di union in Munich – we send solidarity & our thoughts to those affected. We echo ver.di’s call for solidarity & unity in the face of this appalling event. @social.verdi.de

Elon Musk and DOGE continue to jeopardize Americans’ most sensitive, personal data, and threaten our health, safety, rights, paychecks, and the essential services we depend on. They must be stopped—and today we’re going back to court to do just that. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Sending our thoughts to those injured in Munich today. A peaceful rally by our sister union Verdi was shattered by a car driving into people.
