Shaher responds, the world is splitting on support for the ICC ruling, while the US and others actively attack the court. Similarly, some companies are profiting from the illegal settlements that are still growing. The protests we have seen around the world are vital! Thank you for your solidarity

Liv from Norway raising two issues: we need to stay united as a movement, noting division in the anti-apartheid movement & that the same is true today; We must build strong democratic TUs in Palestine.

Antonia Lisboa from CUT Brazil speaks, saying workers cannot be complicit in genocide and ethnic cleansing. Workers' movements support the UN position on a two state solution, just as the Brazilian govt does - so what we're working on is concrete actions to bring an end to the current massacre.

Soloman Phetoe (COSATU) reflects on the international support south africans received against the South Africa Apartheid government - Palestinians deserve the same, he says.
We can't keep quiet as workers globally - no normal trade, sports or relations with an apartheid state, he demands.

Nazma highlights the lack of rights for workers and their representatives, even 12 years after the Rana Plaza disaster which killed over 100 women workers. No one has been held to account for that, and the abuses continue.

But again, we need to use our trade agreements to defend workers, and to improve union engagement on oversight bodies (domestic advisory groups) for trade agreements to ensure workers' interests are reflected, he says. But we also need info from the south to work with.

Nazma Akter from Bangladesh's SGSF highlights the threat to women workers ofn Trump's 35% tariff's on Bangladesh, which is scaring companies away and harming jobs. The worker will be the victim. Fairness has been difficult enough to achieve for women workers, now it will be worse.

Claes-Mikael from the @etuc-ces.bsky.social answers that we need to practice better democracy in order to protect it. Like Luc, he says we need a better trade system - for him this requires strong & enforceable labour chapters in trade deals to protect workers. And we need a shift...

We're very sad to learn of the death of Giacomo Barbieri, former head of the #CGIL International Dept & Prog. Manager for Workers' Activities for @iloactrav.bsky.social at the ILO training centre.
He was a true character of the movement. Our deep sympathy & solidarity to his family & colleagues.

Indeed unions have driven opposition to all these policies, succeeding in slowing new laws & persuading Congress to at least water them down – but now Milei has fewer checks & balances on his power, & international solidarity is needed more than ever. 9/11

Unions have taken to the streets to protest these anti-work laws, claiming they “grant absolute power to companies and jobs without rights to workers” - Milei has come closer to absolute power himself, as Congress has given him a year’s carte blanche to change/make laws without accountability. 8/11

Milei has also attacked workers’ rights, giving more power to employers over unions, & making it easier - & cheaper - to dismiss workers. He has also reinforced the idea of small groups of ‘independent workers’ who have no employment protections at all. 7/11
