PSI stands with our affiliated unions in Palestine launching a national strike today, after the Israeli Knesset passed a bill on 30 March imposing the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of fatal attacks.

We reaffirm our commitment to human rights, due process & the rule of law, and join the EU, European governments & Amnesty International calling for its immediate repeal. https://t.co/x5sKrQY1FG

The 30 million members of PSI around the world condemn the murder of Nurse Alex Pretti at the hands of the Trump administration and the rising authoritarian violence against working people everywhere.

Venezuela 🇻🇪: @PSIglobalunion strongly condemns the US military intervention against the Bolivarian Republic of #Venezuela that occurred in the early hours today

These events violate the sovereignty, territorial integrity and right to self-determination of the Venezuelan people. They constitute a serious violation of international law and the charter of the United Nations and set a dangerous precedent and risk to regional peace and stability.

Tonight, the heads of Canada’s unions met in an emergency session to stand united behind Air Canada Flight Attendants in defying the government’s unconstitutional attack on workers’ rights.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

13.4 million people were lifted out of poverty in Mexico during the 6-year term of left-wing President AMLO (2018-24).

Poverty fell from 43.9% of the population during the Covid pandemic in 2020 to 29.6% in 2024.

Poverty fell drastically in both urban and rural areas.

AMLO prioritized expanding social programs and fighting poverty. His slogan was, "For the good of all, first the poor".

This explains why Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was consistently one of the most popular presidents on Earth, with an approval rating often of 70-80%.

López Obrador's successor from his left-wing Morena party, President Claudia Sheinbaum, is now continuing his progressive pro-working class policies. She also has an approval rating of around 80%, meaning she, too, is one of the most popular leaders on Earth.

Did you know?

Before takeoff, flight attendants do safety checks, help passengers board, and manage gate waits. All essential. All unpaid.

Planes can’t fly without them so why aren’t they paid for all their work?
Tell Air Canada: Unpaid work won’t fly.
