Now we must, together, build an even more intense and effective campaign to advance workers' rights in every part of the global economic agenda. Sister and Brothers, our challenge is to forge unbreakable links in the trade union's chain of global solidarity. Our job is to become bigger, stronger, and more effective players in globalization. We must challenge its ideology, fight for democratic governance of the global economy and curb the power and greed of multinationals. We view the future not with despair, or defeatism.
Global solidarity works.
Look at the international campaigns we have all been part of, when union leaders have been jailed. Solidarity campaigns like the one we fought in Nigeria, and one which we still fight in countries like Zimbabwe and Swaziland to defend our brothers and sisters in adversity there. As we look to the future, we should not underestimate the urgency of the challenges to the trade union movement. But we should not underestimate our own strength either. Click here to Join.
