ITUC

On International #DemocracyDay, we’re sending a clear message: democracy must deliver for working people. Across the world, people are working harder while the cost of housing, food, energy and care keeps rising. At the same time, powerful interests are fuelling division, spreading misinformation and weakening our democratic rights. But when working people organise, we have power. Unions fight for democracy every day — at work, in society and across the world. We fight for our rights, our safety, our livelihoods and our dignity. And together, we win: the right to strike, safe workplaces, fair wages and a real voice in the decisions that shape our lives. 📣 Join the #FightForDemocracy ✊️ Join a union.

🇲🇺💜 À Maurice, les syndicats se mobilisent pour faire reconnaître le soin comme un droit humain fondamental ! ✊ À l'occasion de la Journée internationale des soins et de l'assistance, nous saluons la mobilisation de notre organisation affiliée, la CTSP Maurice, qui rappelle un message essentiel : le soin contribue à des familles en meilleure santé, à des communautés plus fortes et à une société plus juste ! 🌍 💪 Les travailleuses et travailleurs du soin méritent : 🛡️ Un travail décent, avec des contrats équitables, du respect et de la reconnaissance. 💰 Un salaire décent, à la hauteur de la valeur de leur travail. 🤝 De bonnes conditions de travail, dans un environnement sûr et respectueux. 📢 Reconnaître la valeur du soin, c'est aussi reconnaître les droits et la dignité de celles et ceux qui prennent soin des autres chaque jour. ✊💜 Un travail équitable pour les travailleuses et travailleurs du soin, la dignité pour toutes et tous ! #Care2026 @ituc_africa

As we mark the International Day for Care and Support, 29 October, trade unions are demonstrating that organising, collective bargaining and advocacy can transform care systems, improve the lives of care workers and expand access to quality care for all. #CARE2026 🗣️ “Care is the foundation of our societies and economies, yet care work remains undervalued, underpaid and disproportionately carried out by women. Around the world, our trade union affiliates are proving that another model is possible: one that recognises care as a public good, creates decent jobs, strengthens labour rights and promotes gender equality." @luc_triangle 🔗 Learn more: buff.ly/a1XUflU

And the answer is... 🥁🥁🥁 AMAZON 😡 While workers fight for fair treatment, Amazon spent on anti-union consultants in one day what delivery drivers would need 45 days to earn. Amazon is one of six companies exposed in our new Corporate Underminers of Democracy 2026 report: buff.ly/YU4tSnU 💪🏾 Democracy is not for sale. Workers' rights are not negotiable. #FightForDemocracy @ituc_africa @itucasiapacific @csa_tuca @etuc_ces @ArabTradeUnion @Iloactrav

“The settlers told me to leave my land. I refused.” During an ITUC mission to Palestine, Luc Triangle met Ahmad, a farmer in Nablus. He described repeated violent attacks by Israeli settlers. ➡️Find out more about the mission: buff.ly/0q9221y For Palestinian farmers, the olive harvest is more than a tradition.
