⚒️ Right to Strike 🇨🇦 In #Canada, the government ordered striking Air Canada flight attendants and postal workers back to work, forcing disputes into binding arbitration. 🛑 The #RightToStrike is a fundamental democratic right. ✊ Workers deserve to be heard — not silenced. 👉 ituc-csi.org/global-rights-i… #RightsIndex26 #FightForDemocracy @CSA_TUCA

At the FGTB Congress, ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle joined a panel discussion on the right to protest, highlighting that defending trade union rights and democratic freedoms goes hand in hand. 📢 The right to protest is a fundamental democratic right. When workers can raise their voices without fear, democracy is stronger for everyone. #FightForDemocracy @FGTBBruABVV

On World Day Against Child Labour, we stand with the 138 million children still trapped in child labour — including 54 million engaged in hazardous work that threatens their health, safety and future. The time for promises is over. Governments and employers must act now to: ✔️ Guarantee living wages and universal social protection ✔️ Enforce ILO Conventions 138 and 182 ✔️ Hold corporations accountable through supply chain due diligence ✔️ Invest in free, quality public education for every child 🔗 Learn more: buff.ly/Yqcra46 #EndChildLabour

Labour 7 calls on G7 leaders to back joint proposals on decent work and workers’ safety. 🗣️ “The erosion of workers’ rights has reached the heart of our democracies, and G7 countries are no exception. Defending democracy means defending the freedoms that sustain it, including democratic trade union rights, at home and worldwide.” @luc_triangle 🔗 Learn more: ituc-csi.org/Labour-7-calls-…

Climate action will only succeed if it is fair. In Bonn at the #SB64, ITUC Africa Rhoda Boateng demanded that workers and their representatives have a seat at the table in the new Belém–Antalya Just Transition Mechanism - because without labour rights, decent jobs, and social dialogue, there can be no just transition. Labour rights are human rights. #JustTransition #TradeUnions #ClimateJustice @ituc_africa @RhodaClimate @AkhatorO

Les syndicats continuent de travailler pour sensibiliser à ces questions, dans de nombreux secteurs.

📢 LANCEMENT de l'édition 2026 de l’Indice CSI des droits dans le monde 🗣️ «L’édition 2026 de l’Indice CSI des droits dans le monde révèle que la crise des droits des travailleurs ne se limite plus à quelques cas marginaux – elle est désormais au cœur même des démocraties.

📢 ITUC Newsletter - June 2026 The 2026 ITUC Global Rights Index is here, revealing a disturbing global trend: attacks on workers’ rights are increasing worldwide — even in countries long seen as democratic strongholds. 📉⚠️ #RightsIndex26 As governments and employers challenge fundamental freedoms, workers and unions are standing together to defend democracy, justice, and dignity at work. ✊🌍 This month also marks major discussions at the International Labour Conference, including negotiations on the first-ever binding international convention for platform workers. 📱🚴‍♀️ #ILC2026 There is good news: in a landmark victory, the International Court of Justice has confirmed that the #RightToStrike is protected under ILO Convention No. 87. ⚖️✅ The fight for workers’ rights is inseparable from the #FightForDemocracy. Together, we will continue to push back against precarious work, defend fundamental freedoms, and build a #NewSocialContract for all. 🤝💙 🔗 Read the full newsletter: EN ituc-csi.org/new-social-cont… FR ituc-csi.org/un-nouveau-cont… ES ituc-csi.org/nuevo-contrato-…

🗣️ “The AFL-CIO welcomes the release of the ITUC Global Rights Index 2026. The US has been placed on the watchlist this year for egregious workers’ rights violations, including attacks on freedom of association, collective bargaining, and protections against discrimination. The continued attack on collective bargaining makes this administration the largest union buster in the history of the United States. But our movement is ready. Unions in the United States are mobilising to protect our rights and #FightForDemocracy.” @CathyFeingold @aflcio 🔗 Learn more about #RightsIndex26: ituc-csi.org/global-rights-i…

🌏🤝 The ITUC participated in the Policy for Development Asia-Pacific Meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, alongside a delegation from ITUC-Asia Pacific, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Nepal. 🗣️ The delegation brought forward the priorities of trade unions and workers, emphasizing that decent jobs must remain at the heart of development, the Global Gateway, and Just Transition initiatives across the region. ⚡ During the discussions, Rekson Silaban (KSBSI) highlighted the challenges faced by workers and trade unions under Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). He stressed that, despite the significant impact on workers, trade unions have not been meaningfully involved in the process. 📢 Trade unions called for: ✅ Meaningful social dialogue and public participation in the design and implementation of the Global Gateway, with trade unions and civil society organizations fully included. ✅ A stronger social dimension in #JustTransition policies, with funding for training, worker engagement, and community participation—not only business-driven approaches. ✅ A united front between trade unions and civil society organizations to advance a truly just transition. ✊ A Just Transition can only succeed when workers have a seat at the table. @itucasiapacific @Info_KSBSI #TimeFor8

🌍 Trade unionists from around the world gathered in Geneva during the International Labour Conference #ILC to stand up for democracy, human rights, and trade union freedoms. 📣 We demand the release of all imprisoned trade unionists and democracy activists in Belarus, Myanmar, and Hong Kong. No worker should face repression for defending rights, justice, and freedom. ✊Together, we raise our voices to #FightForDemocracy!
