The parties to the world's only global sectoral collective agreement have declared the Strait of Hormuz as a 'High Risk Area' giving #seafarers additional protections. IThe parties also agree the seafarers’ right to refuse to sail into the area. itfglobal.org/en/news/joint-…

.@ITFglobalunion and the global labour movement strongly condemn the bombing carried out by Israel & the US, and the retaliatory attacks by Iran, in violation of the most fundamental rule of international law, namely the use of force. itfglobal.org/en/news/itf-ca…

The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office has been busy! Days after the Foodinho/Glovo investigation, #Deliveroo has now been placed under court administration over 'genuine labour exploitation', including pay '90% below the poverty line and CBAs'. #gigeconomy euractiv.com/news/milan-pro…

🚨Uruguay Supreme Court rules that #Uber drivers are employees - 6th SC globally to recognise an employment relationship for #gigeconomy on-demand workrs Crucially, Court applies ILO R198 test. Court also disapplies mandatory arbitration in NL as per Uber's T&Cs. BIG!

⚠️ La Suprema Corte de Justicia de 🇺🇾 dictó la Sentencia 25/2026 en el caso "Guizado c/ Uber". Un fallo que cambia las reglas del juego para las plataformas. Abro hilo con las claves y su conexión con mi investigación. Spoiler: Fin del partido, los choferes son dependientes 👇

The 20th anniversary of the Maritime Labour Convention is a moment to celebrate achievements but also to call for action. Seafarers keep the global economy afloat. We must recognize them as key workers and protect their human and labour rights through implementation of the MLC!

ITUC@ituc·
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
Kilusang Mayo Uno@kilusangmayouno

FREE MAOJ MAGA! FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! Workers led by Kilusang Mayo Uno and Free Our Unionists held a protest in front of the Department of Justice to call for the immediate release of Marklen Maojo “Maoj” Maga. On the 8th year of Maoj’s imprisonment, the workers and FOU called on fellow workers and citizens to continue taking action until all political prisoners are freed and all fabricated charges are dismissed. The groups also asserted that Rodrigo Duterte deserves to be imprisoned for his crimes against the people, including grave violations of workers’ rights.

“National have let Uber & ACT Party set agenda for employment law in this country. They need to grow a backbone & stand up for the interests of NZ workers,” - @NZ_CTU #NewZealand labour reform creates “specified contractor” status upending SC #Uber decison, among other things.
