Day 2 at #SimplifyingForSuccess: TUAC GS Veronica Nilsson speaking on deregulation panel.

"OECD surveys show “simplification” priorities differ sharply between business and government – this is exactly why all stakeholders, especially trade unions, need to be consulted."

At today’s OECD #SimplifyingForSuccess symposium, trade unionist Frédéric Favraud underlines that success in health means universal access to quality care, not profitability.

Health is about quality, not quantity – and there is no quality care without decent work.

At today's @oecd-ocde.bsky.social Corporate Sustainability Roundtable, Veronica Nilsson:

“Despite years of reporting, ~28M people remain in forced labour. Credible ESG needs mandatory disclosure aligned with ILO standards, full value-chain scope, and real engagement with workers & unions.”

🚨 France's NCP has found Shein in breach of OECD Guidelines, with systemic gaps in due diligence and workplace processes.

Evidence shows 75-hour working weeks, missing contracts and a failure to address concerns over child and forced labour.

TUAC's view on the OECD’s 'Better Regulation Practices across the EU 2025' report: regulation must serve the public interest, with social and environmental protections built into the process, not stripped out in the name of “simplification.”

TUAC welcomes OECD's "To Have and Have Not" report on inequality, but warns its approach understates systemic factors.

The artificial division between what's "beyond" and "within" individual control oversimplifies reality and portrays structural problems as personal choices.

What’s the bigger threat now? It's not inflation, but high interest rates and under-investment.

Today's OECD Interim Economic Outlook forecasts slower growth (2.9% in 2026) and rising joblessness in major economies, yet still pushes fiscal “discipline”.

"While billions struggle to meet basic needs, a small part of the world's population holds an ever-increasing share of global wealth. Today, the top 1% owns more than 45% of global wealth, but they often pay lower tax rates than the bottom 90%." - Veronica Nilsson today at L20 🧵
