Five years since Myanmar’s democracy was stolen — the people are still resisting. Australian unions and civil society stand with them.

Venezuela 🇻🇪: @ituc and @CSA_TUCA strongly condemn the US military aggression against Venezuela and the violation of its sovereignty.

We call for respect for the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination, the immediate release of all those detained, and a return to peaceful and democratic dialogue.

Peace and international law must prevail.

Global CEO @ramonlaguarta , what’s going on? Get your act together in South Australia. PepsiCo is sending a message: you value profits & chips more than the workers who make them. Instead of meeting and fixing it, we’ve heard @PepsiCo may be targeting union members who are..(1/2)
