🌟 Empowering women through leadership, organising and campaigning. Over three days in Oman, 34 women trade unionists from different sectors and regions came together to strengthen their skills, share experiences and build connections. Stronger women leaders mean stronger unions. ✊♀️ @arabtradeunion @itucasiapacific

As we mark the International Day for Care and Support, 29 October, trade unions are demonstrating that organising, collective bargaining and advocacy can transform care systems, improve the lives of care workers and expand access to quality care for all. #CARE2026 🗣️ “Care is the foundation of our societies and economies, yet care work remains undervalued, underpaid and disproportionately carried out by women. Around the world, our trade union affiliates are proving that another model is possible: one that recognises care as a public good, creates decent jobs, strengthens labour rights and promotes gender equality." @luc_triangle 🔗 Learn more: buff.ly/a1XUflU

Este 29 de octubre, Día Internacional de los Cuidados y el Apoyo, los sindicatos demuestran que la organización, la negociación colectiva y el activismo pueden transformar los sistemas de cuidados, mejorar la vida de sus profesionales y ampliar el acceso a unos cuidados de calidad para todos. 🗣️ “Los cuidados son la base de nuestras sociedades y economías, y, pese a ello, el trabajo de cuidados sigue estando infravalorado, mal remunerado y recayendo de forma desproporcionada en las mujeres. A escala mundial, nuestras organizaciones sindicales afiliadas están demostrando que otro modelo es posible: uno que reconoce los cuidados como un bien público, que crea empleos decentes, que consolida los derechos laborales y que promueve la igualdad de género”.

Today in Ramallah, ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle met with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa and representatives of the Palestinian Authority to discuss the worsening economic and social situation, rising unemployment and the urgent need to defend Palestinian workers’ rights. Thousands of Palestinian workers have been prevented from reaching their workplaces inside Israel for nearly three years, depriving them of vital income. Increased international pressure is needed to end restrictions on workers’ freedom of movement, restore access to employment, ensure payment of outstanding wages and create new job opportunities. The ITUC stressed the importance of strengthening workers’ rights, empowering women and investing in skills, technological development and employment opportunities for young Palestinians. The ITUC reaffirmed its solidarity with its affiliate, the PGFTU, and with Palestinian workers, as well as its commitment to defending their rights and livelihoods, promoting decent work and supporting international efforts to improve their living and working conditions. @luc_triangle @PGFTU2 @ArabTradeUnion @ITUCAsiaPacific @ITUC_Africa @CSA_TUCA @ETUC_CES @ILO @ILOACTRAV @jordaniaurena04 @manzieric65

For Palestinian workers, olive trees are jobs, income, history and dignity. In the occupied West Bank, ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle met Ahmad, a Palestinian olive farmer. Ahmad described repeated attacks by Israeli settlers, including the theft of his tractor and physical violence. Trade unions stand in solidarity with those defending their livelihoods and their right to remain on their land. 🍉✊ @luc_triangle @PGFTU2 @ArabTradeUnion @ITUCAsiaPacific @ITUC_Africa @CSA_TUCA @ETUC_CES @ILO @ILOACTRAV @jordaniaurena04 @manzieric65

On the final day of the ITUC solidarity mission to Palestine, General Secretary Luc Triangle visited Palestinian farmers near Nablus to mark the beginning of the olive harvest season. Palestinian farmers and agricultural workers face increasing restrictions on access to their land, including checkpoints and other restrictions on freedom of movement, as well as land confiscation and settlement expansion, accompanied by violence and intimidation by Israeli settlers. These violations threaten their safety, jobs and livelihoods. The ITUC delegation also visited an aluminium factory and the Northern Electricity Distribution Company, where a collective agreement was signed with the workers’ union. To conclude the mission, Luc Triangle met with PGFTU leaders from the West Bank and Gaza. The situation in Gaza was discussed: widespread destruction, unemployment now exceeding 85%, and the destruction of transport infrastructure are having a devastating impact on workers. The alarming rise in child labour is another consequence of the humanitarian and economic crisis. The ITUC reaffirmed its solidarity with Palestinian workers and the importance of a strong and united Palestinian trade union movement. @luc_triangle @PGFTU2 @ArabTradeUnion @ITUCAsiaPacific @ITUC_Africa @CSA_TUCA @ETUC_CES @ILO @ILOACTRAV @jordaniaurena04 @manzieric65

HOPE for Palestine Young people are the present and the future of Palestine. In Ramallah, ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle met with 100 students at the opening of their technology fair, witnessing their creativity, talent and determination. Palestinian young people deserve the opportunity to build their own economic and social future. @luc_triangle @PGFTU2 @ArabTradeUnion @ITUCAsiaPacific @ITUC_Africa @CSA_TUCA @ETUC_CES @ILO @ILOACTRAV @jordaniaurena04 @manzieric65

ITUC solidarity mission to Palestine continues in Jericho. ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle and PGFTU General Secretary Shaher Saed met with Governor Hussein Hamayel, Mayor Salem Ghrouf and Palestinian agricultural workers to hear directly about the daily challenges they face. Workers described exploitation in Israeli settlements, lengthy delays at checkpoints and restrictions on movement that affect their daily lives and ability to earn a living. They also reported the deliberate destruction of olive trees that are a source of income for farmers. These restrictions undermine the fragile Palestinian economy, particularly in agriculture and tourism, two essential sources of employment and income. The delegation also visited Al Nakheel date factory, which employs around 1,000 workers, 70% of them women, illustrating the importance of agriculture in sustaining jobs and livelihoods in the region. @luc_triangle @PGFTU2 @ArabTradeUnion @ITUCAsiaPacific @ITUC_Africa @CSA_TUCA @ETUC_CES @ILO @ILOACTRAV

🇵🇸 ITUC solidarity mission to Palestine begins in Bethlehem. ITUC General Secretary @luc_triangle met today with PGFTU General Secretary Shaher Saad, Palestinian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Hani Al-Hayek, Bethlehem Mayor Hanna Hanania, local authorities and tourism workers. The visit included meetings with religious representatives at the Church of the Nativity and a visit to the Riwaya Museum, which both illustrate the importance of Palestinian cultural and religious heritage and the jobs it supports. Hundreds of thousands of tourists and pilgrims are no longer visiting Bethlehem and its surrounding holy sites, contributing to the loss of an estimated 30,000 jobs. These sites are part of the world's cultural and religious heritage and must be accessible without restrictions. In response to Israeli movement restrictions that undermine Palestinian tourism and workers' livelihoods, the ITUC, PGFTU, the Ministry and Bethlehem Municipality signed an Agreement on Principles and Solidarity to protect Christian religious and cultural heritage in Palestine, ensure safe access to holy sites and defend the rights of Palestinian tourism workers.

Workers must be at the heart of climate action🌱 Ahead of COP31, the ITUC is calling for a Just Transition that delivers climate action, decent jobs and social justice. Read our demands➡️ buff.ly/zlpgNfy We want: ✅ Climate policies built around workers' rights and social dialogue ✅ Decent jobs and social protection for all workers ✅ Support from high-emitting countries to the Global South ✅ Inclusive transition plans that leave no worker behind The transition to a low-carbon economy must be fair, planned and democratic.

The ITUC congratulates Navi Pillay on winning the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work for human rights, justice and international law. @luc_triangle: “Navi Pillay’s Nobel Peace Prize sends a powerful message at a time when international law is increasingly under attack. Human rights must be defended and international law respected. Lasting peace can only be built on social justice, democracy and respect for fundamental rights.” 🔗 ituc-csi.org/ituc-welcomes-n…

The fight for democracy needs the leadership of working-class women✊ Young women trade union leaders from across the Pacific came together to discuss organising, climate change, migration and more. In Fiji, gender parity has transformed union leadership from 100% men to 50% women. More women leading means stronger unions and stronger democracy. #FightForDemocracy @itucasiapacific

This World Day for Decent Work #WDDW26, we celebrate young trade unionists whose experiences inspire them to stand up for workers’ rights and build a fairer world. ✊ For Nina Santos (E tū), witnessing how a union helped her father escape an exploitative situation showed her the power unions can have — not only on a worker’s life, but on their whole family. Today, as a union lawyer, she brings together her passion for workers’ rights, human rights and social justice. ▶️ Watch Nina’s story 🔗 Learn more: buff.ly/mps2div @NZ_CTU @itucasiapacific
