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, n 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.

💰 When extreme wealth translates into political power, democracy is at risk.
As wealth becomes increasingly concentrated, so does the ability of the ultra-rich to influence political decisions and shape public policies.
✊ In his article @inequalityorg, ITUC's Director of Todd Brogan, explores the growing relationship between extreme wealth and political power, raising important questions about inequality, democracy and whose interests governments serve.
🌍 Tackling inequality is not only about economic justice — it is also about protecting democracy and ensuring that workers' voices are heard.

The ITUC expresses its solidarity with young people taking to the streets across the world to demand quality education, decent jobs, affordable living conditions and democratic accountability.
🗣️“Young people are demanding what every generation should be able to expect: quality affordable living conditions and a voice in shaping their lives. These are key elements of the New Social Contract championed by the ITUC. Governments must listen to these demands and respond with practical action, not more repression, austerity and intimidation.” @luc_triangle

Alors que nous célébrons, en ce 29 octobre, la Journée internationale des soins et de l’assistance, les syndicats démontrent que l’organisation, la négociation collective et le plaidoyer sont à même de transformer les systèmes de soins, d’améliorer la vie des travailleuses et des et d’élargir l’accès à des soins de santé de qualité pour toutes et tous.
🗣️ « Les soins constituent la base de nos sociétés et de nos économies, pourtant le travail de soins reste sous-évalué, sous-rémunéré et exercé de manière disproportionnée par les femmes. Partout dans le monde, nos affiliés syndicaux démontrent qu’un autre modèle est possible : un modèle qui reconnaisse les soins comme un bien public, crée des emplois décents, renforce les droits du travail et promeuve l’égalité des genres. » Luc Triangle, secrétaire général de la CSI
