The @AFLCIO International Department building power for workers worldwide! @CathyFeingold, Director | #1u

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

If labour’s share of global income had stayed at its 2004 level, workers would have received an additional $2.4 trillion in 2024 alone. Speaking tomorrow at the L20 event hosted by @AFLCIO on what it takes to reverse this: conditionalities on public investment that share both risks and rewards.

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we

Great to see @USTradeRep @AmbassadorTai promote corporate accountability by moving the Perilli tire RRM case to the panel stage.  We stand with Mexican workers and unions fighting for their fundamental labor rights under the #USMCA.

[United Steelworkers Union @steelworkers]

Our union applauds @AmbassadorTai for initiating the first-ever Section 301 investigation into Nicaragua’s policies on labor rights, human rights, and the rule of law. This bold action reflects the U.S. commitment to upholding value-forward, worker-centered trade.

Recebi Luc Triangle, presidente da Confederação Sindical Internacional (CSI), e lideranças que vieram para o Congresso Mundial de Trabalhadores, que acontece aqui no Brasil. Falamos sobre os desafios do mundo do trabalho no cenário internacional e a importância da presidência brasileira do G20, que lançou as bases da Aliança Global Contra a Fome. Nosso governo está comprometido com as demandas dos trabalhadores e das trabalhadoras no Brasil e também em apoiar outros países do mundo.

Love this #fighttheheist campaign video showing the powerful women who make Nike’s apparel and shoes who are fighting for a living wage. As much as @Nike promotes strong women in sports who wear their brand, they must support these powerful women who work for them!

[Global Labor Justice @global_labor]

SHARE: @Nike puts strong women in its commercials. But what about us? It’s time to turn the camera on the powerful women workers who make Nike shoes. “We’re fighting you, Nike. For decent pay, for equality, for a living wage.” #JustDoIt #NikeInequality
