✊🇫🇷 We stand in solidarity with French unions & workers on strike against harmful budget cuts & austerity measures.

Working class solidarity is universal. That includes migrant workers facing exploitation, subjugation, and abuse by bosses, govts, and the far right. Next week we'll hear from unions on every continent about how they are organising with and defending migrant workers. 👇

The military industrial complex. The war machine. These terms capture an idea, but that idea is implemented by real companies with real executives and real investors. @ituc.bsky.social compiled research on a few whose actions are undermining democracy everywhere.

The rise of right, the rush to militarism, and runaway corporate power are not distinct developments. Behind the scenes, they are all fueled by some of the world's most notable companies and the same employers fighting union organising and democracy at work. I'll be moderating this one. Register:

🎙️ITUC General Secretary @luctriangle.bsky.social featured on the latest episode of the EQUALS podcast . He dives into the fight against inequality, the dangers of a “billionaire coup,” and why workers standing together are key to defending democracy.✊

DC, my old home, is occupied by fascist cowards in masks kidnapping parents, harassing unhoused people, menacing children at school. Now DC is calling the nation to help free it. Join the people and stand up for yourselves: #freedc wearealldc.com

🌏 This week in Manila, ITUC & ITUC-AP brought together union members from Indonesia & the Philippines for a binational Platform Workers Academy! 💪📱🛵 🔄 Shared experiences with common employers 🤝 Identified shared challenges & winning strategies 🧠 Built plans to organise & campaign across all levels

We are not each other’s enemies. We’re all suffering under this same broken system. It does not have to be this way. Republicans and Democrats won’t save us—working people are going to save ourselves.

🗣️"From Gaza to Kiev, Kashmir to Khartoum — each crisis is unique, but rooted in the same global disease: rising inequality, authoritarianism, and the dangerous belief that security comes through militarism and war." - Todd Brogan @ituc.bsky.social 📺Webinar: buff.ly/SlSP80y 📰Info: buff.ly/yqOVZnI

From Uber drivers to care workers to content moderators — millions of platform workers are waiting for the protections they deserve. We showed that when we unite, we WIN. Let's finish what we started 🔥 Tell your gov platform workers need strong protections:

🗣️“Distributed renewable energy empowers communities, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and allows democratic energy control. We need a #JustTransition with millions of union jobs, community protection, and inclusivity.” Agnes Hall @350.org 📺 buff.ly/bInlGA6 📰 buff.ly/cQ8N8Ny

We have severely lost the plot! This coordination and cooperation with Trump to target DC residents is dangerous, unacceptable and violates our Sanctuary Values Act! I’m disgusted that we would abandon our values and our people in this way. Stand for something! Defend our values!

All critiques of Brother Smalls considered, he got on the boat, he took action, and he was beaten for it. He and the other passengers, including at least two other trade unionists, deserve our support. @ituc.bsky.social didnt delay in responding and neither should you: ituc-csi.org/Gaza-ITUC-co...

Violence, whether in Gaza or Kyiv, Kashmir or Khartoum, always has unique origins, horrors, and motives but is bound together by common root causes that are global and deteriorating rapidly. Monday, @ituc.bsky.social will join partners from across movements to discuss this and what can be done:

Last year, the @ituc.bsky.social named Amazon, Meta, and Tesla as some of the most egregious Corporate Underminers of Democracy. Surprise, surprise, look who also has a ridiculous CEO to worker pay disparity:

Forgot to post it here but proud to have played a small role last month in launching the @ituc.bsky.social and O4P global organising partnership: www.ituc-csi.org/ituc-and-o4p...

The trade unions of India issue a call for de-escalation in the conflict with Pakistan. Very good news:

While nuclear powers skirmished in south Asia and the world met a new Catholic Pope, the world's largest international union body, the @ituc.bsky.social, marked #8may with an historic open letter to world leaders. It begins, "I write to you today to sound the alarm." A🧵:

"Minister responsible for the economy and labor relations, Erkki Keldo, is of the opinion that collective agreements are a relic of the 19th and 20th centuries and so play no significant role in modern society." What an unbelievable, completely unacceptable position by a government minister!

It's not just Starlink the US govt is pushing. How about this letter from the US Consulate in Munich lobbying against minimum fare prices for Uber? Source (from Berlin parliament): www.instagram.com/p/DJB5ERColYr/
