@petrogustavo, el ISDS es un tribunal secreto que perjudica los derechos de lxs trabajadorxs, debilita nuestros servicios públicos y solo beneficia a las multinacionales. Los sindicatos de Colombia dicen: ¡BASTA de tratos secretos para las empresas! ¡Salgamos ya del ISDS!

Good news: KESK women leaders were acquitted of charges! The court delivered its judgement after 14 years. @KESK1995 will continue to struggle for trade union rights, peace, democracy and gender equality. Thanks to all sister unions&confederations for their continuous solidarity

Today I am backing the Unison campaign to draw attention to the impact that the government’s changes to the immigration laws which will hit thousands of care workers, putting at risk the care services we defend upon. The Home Secretary need to think again. @unisontheunion

Care workers delivered 20,000+ leaflets in @ShabanaMahmood's constituency, explaining what changes to settlement rules really mean. This isn’t just about care staff It’s about everyone who relies on care, every day Ask the Home Secretary to think again⏩ unsn.uk/4e0V4rs

Every headline about the wealth gap is really a headline about stolen labor.

𝐒𝐫𝐢 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐋𝐎 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏𝟗𝟎 ✊🏽🇱🇰 After sustained organising and advocacy by trade unions, Sri Lanka has officially ratified ILO Convention No. 190 on violence and harassment in the world of work. Following the announcement in December, the government formally submitted the ratification to the ILO on 16 April, making Sri Lanka the 55th country to ratify C190. This is a significant step towards ensuring safe, dignified workplaces, especially for women workers. The struggle now moves to implementation—to make sure these protections are realised in every workplace. #SriLanka #C190 #WorkersRights #StopGBVH #TradeUnions #genderjusticela #DecentWork Read our post from December 2025 to know the exemplary role played by the trade unions in ratification publicservices.international/resources/news…

FSP FARKES Reformasi began its Solidarity Camp today in Bogor.

The launch event was attended by comrades from @apheda, @unionsaustralia, @PNG Nurses Association, & Energy Workers Association. The website will strengthen union power through digital organising and member engagement. It will enable PEA to connect with workers in new ways and make it easier for public servants across Papua New Guinea to join the union online and be part of the global fightback for quality public services. We also congratulate the leadership of General Secretary Ugwalubu Mowana for making this possible. 🌐 Visit the new website: peapng.org

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐣𝐢 ✊🏽🇫🇯 In early April, union leaders, organisers, and workers in Fiji came together in Suva for a National Organising Workshop under the regional programme “Building Union Power for Quality Public Services.” Facilitated by Frank Jackson of the New Zealand Public Service Association (NZPSA), the workshop strengthened practical organising skills and reinforced a shared commitment to grow union power across Fiji. Participants reaffirmed the need to intensify organising efforts, advocate for the recognition and value of public service workers, and push for greater government investment in quality public services. A key priority that emerged from the discussions was expanding organising to workers in Fiji’s outer islands, ensuring that union power reaches workers beyond the main urban centres. Similar trainings are planned in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands, building a stronger regional movement for quality public services. This programme is coordinated by PSI and @eduint with support from @unionaidabroad #Fiji #UnionPower #TradeUnions #Organising #WorkersRights #PacificUnions

At a national consultation meeting held on 12 April 2026 in Kathmandu, the leaders appreciated the international solidarity expressed by GUFs, such as PSI, from the Asia Pacific region and seriously discussed the gaps, current challenges, and key priority actions to be taken forward for the protection of the trade union movement in Nepal. The meeting also acknowledged the historic contribution made by trade unions in every political change in Nepal and stressed the need for unity and joint action on all fronts, ranging from grassroots organising and media/narrative battles to legal and policy struggles. Leaders committed to intensifying organising campaigns within their own structures and to actively engaging in trade union networks, joint lobbying and advocacy initiatives, as well as the preparation of joint events and campaigns such as May Day celebrations. The meeting was largely successful in creating a shared understanding among different trade unions, with a strong commitment to work together on joint campaigns for visible change in the world of work in Nepal. #Nepal #TradeUnions #WorkersRights #MayDay #UnionPower #Solidarity

🏥✂️ At least 20,000 NHS posts could go by 2028 due to a £1.1bn deficit. Cutting staff when services are stretched to the limit puts patient care at risk. Read here ⬇️ unsn.uk/4tDdcMs

✊ 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐇𝐖𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🇵🇭 In a historic first, Barangay Health Workers in the Philippines have won official government registration of their union — Maka-BHW Pilipinas. This is a major organising breakthrough that establishes their legitimacy and strengthens their power to engage governments at all levels. This is more than a legal victory. It is recognition that community health work is work — and that CHWs deserve rights, voice, dignity, and collective bargaining power like all workers. For decades, CHWs have been the backbone of primary healthcare, serving remote and underserved communities with little pay, no social protection, and almost no recognition. Now, through collective organising, they have a union that can fight for better wages, legal recognition, social security, and the Magna Carta for Barangay Health Workers.

"It is completely unacceptable that Nepal Government is denying workers one of their most fundamental democratic rights—the right to form and join trade unions. Public service workers in Nepal, such as community health workers and sanitation workers, have won important gains through collective organising. To ban unions now would not only violate international law and Nepal’s own Constitution, it would risk nullifying years of hard-won progress. We must not give up on the gains workers have made through unionising,” said Kate Lappin, Regional Secretary, PSI Asia Pacific.

UNION VICTORY ✊🏽 The nurses’ union in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 forced the government to honour last year’s agreement on the Nurses Industrial Award (2025–2027) after announcing sit-in protests from 1 April. Faced with the real possibility of nationwide service disruption, the government was pushed to act—issuing a clear implementation timeline and committing to start processing due payments immediately. This breakthrough was made possible by PNGNA’s strategic escalation, credible threat of industrial action, and strong solidarity from unions across the region - PSI, PNGPEA and @anmf_sa. It is a powerful reminder that collective solidarity and organised worker pressure can turn delayed promises into action.
