The headline says it all. This piece from @Backheeled examines how misaligned business incentives inside the United Soccer League can create instability across the professional game. Instability is felt most by the players and fans. #StandUpForStandards

Trade unions from across the Gulf region met with the ITUC today to discuss the escalating conflict in the Middle East and its devastating impact on workers. Representatives from Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine and Yemen strongly condemned the aggression by all parties and stressed the urgent need to respect international law, national sovereignty, and the right of people to decide for their future. ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle warned that the war is already having severe consequences for the region’s economies, with rising unemployment and poverty. He underlined that the crisis is also undermining social dialogue and putting workers’ rights at risk. The particular challenges faced by migrant workers and other vulnerable workers across the region was highlighted together with the need for stronger unity among trade unions to defend their rights. Ending the war and returning to dialogue must be the priority. Trade unions from the region reaffirmed their commitment to continue this struggle through international solidarity and collective action. ✊🌍 @ArabTradeUnion @luc_triangle @manzieric65 @keeporganizing @JeroenBeirnaert

Il 14 marzo sarà la giornata nazionale di mobilitazione dei rider di Glovo e Deliveroo. La fase aperta dall’indagine giudiziaria rappresenta una concreta opportunità di cambiamento delle condizioni di lavoro nel settore. Superiamo l’attuale modello di sfruttamento e garantiamo ai rider stabilità lavorativa e salari adeguati. È necessario l'avvio di un percorso di stabilizzazione dei rider attraverso l’assunzione con il CCNL Logistica, Trasporto Merci e Spedizione, riconoscendo così diritti, tutele e condizioni economiche dignitose. Il 14 marzo scendi in piazza con noi per cambiare le cose!

💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years. axios.com/2026/03/02/tru…

"Workers’ voices have been sidelined both by authoritarian governance and by the logic of militarisation. A change of regime cannot be imposed by force...[Iranian people] must have the right to determine their own future, free from external aggression and internal repression."

A convenient way to interpret law.

BREAKING: The number of students killed in an Israeli attack on an elementary girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, has risen to 24. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/h1vto4

It's always been no to war with Iran. The regime in Tehran is vile and so are the ones running Jerusalem and Washington. There is no outcome here that will make workers more free in any country. Glad my union agrees: facebook.com/share/p/1KXmDZ…

La CSI se solidariza con @SinatrapOficial y con las y los repartidores que se movilizan en #Colombia 🇨🇴✊ 💰 Exigen una tarifa justa de $5.900 por servicio (hoy $3.050), propinas adicionales al salario, el fin de las represalias sindicales y el fin de los bloqueos punitivos en la app. ❌ Trabajar 12–16 horas sin derechos ni garantías no es trabajo decente. Cuando las empresas bloquean, precarizan y desconocen el diálogo social, debilitan la democracia. Defender los derechos sindicales y el trabajo decente es parte fundamental de nuestra campaña global #PorLaDemocracia. @CSA_TUCA @cutcolombia @ctccolombia @CGTCol

In California, the United Auto Workers are calling on the state to make major investments in green energy, while also making sure these investments provide good union jobs and products that are affordable for working-class consumers. jacobin.com/2026/02/uaw-gr…

As Amazon continues to spread into new markets, it poses a threat to labor standards that many unions have achieved. Unions must build worker power at such a behemoth by making Amazon organizing a project of the entire labor movement. 1/3 labornotes.org/2026/02/amazon…

The ITUC stands in full solidarity with @kilusangmayouno and the Philippine labour movement. ✊🇵🇭 The continued detention of 18 labour political prisoners, and the filing of fabricated charges against 22 more, represents a grave attack on workers’ rights and civil liberties. 🚨 As Maoj Maga marks his 8th year in prison, we join the call to end red-tagging, the criminalization of union organizing, and the repression of legitimate labour struggles. The right to organize is a fundamental human right. 🛠️📢 On February 23, we support the Global Day of Action: 🔹 Free Maoj Maga 🔹 Free all detained labour activists 🔹 Defend workers’ rights and civil liberties #ForDemocracy #FreeMaojMaga #Philippines @itucasiapacific
