💰 When extreme wealth translates into political power, democracy is at risk.
As wealth becomes increasingly concentrated, so does the ability of the ultra-rich to influence political decisions and shape public policies.
✊ In his article @inequalityorg, ITUC's Director of Campaigns & Organising, Todd Brogan, explores the growing relationship between extreme wealth and political power, raising important questions about inequality, democracy and whose interests governments serve.
🌍 Tackling inequality is not only about economic justice — it is also about protecting democracy and ensuring that workers' voices are heard.

If tonight was such a win for moderates, why do all the ‘moderates’ sound like Bernie circa 2016?

The ITUC expresses its solidarity with young people taking to the streets across the world to demand quality education, decent jobs, affordable living conditions and democratic accountability.
🗣️“Young people are demanding what every generation should be able to expect: quality education, decent jobs, affordable living conditions and a voice in shaping their lives. These are key elements of the New Social Contract championed by the ITUC. Governments must listen to these demands and respond with practical action, not more repression, austerity and intimidation.” @luc_triangle

And the answer is... 🥁🥁🥁 Apollo CEO Marc Rowan😓
Trade unions have alleged union busting and other violations of trade union rights at Apollo-owned companies. In healthy democracies, universities are free to teach, students free to question, and workers free to organise.
Apollo Global Management is one of six companies exposed in our new Corporate Underminers of Democracy 2026 report:

NEW: OpenAI's president gave Trump $25 million. Trump moved to block state AI regulation.
UnitedHealth gave $5 million. Trump doubled their Medicare Advantage pay increase.
It all happens through MAGA Inc. and oligarchs are spending big to defend their cash cow this election.

And the answer is... 🥁🥁🥁 AMAZON 😡
While workers fight for fair treatment, Amazon spent on anti-union consultants in one day what delivery drivers would need 45 days to earn.

🇧🇷 Lula’s re-election is a victory for democracy and working people!
Brazilian workers and trade unions have shown that the far right can be defeated through collective mobilisation. #FightForDemocracy @CSA_TUCA

The Indian government's privacy law, which would require journalists to seek consent from people they write about, amounted to pre-censorship and could lead to newsrooms shutting down, media groups told the Supreme Court, starting the most high-profile challenge against the legislation reut.rs/4yKkfFc

Today in @thenation: a jaw-dropping investigation from Emmet Frazier (@moresycamore) on the damage that corporate and political interference caused to Scientific American. The stuff that Emmet uncovered from inside the magazine is NUTS. A must-read. thenation.com/article/societ…
Another reason they belong on in the small group of companies that @ituc has named Corporate Underminers of Democracy. Amazon, in fact, is the only one named every year: ituc-csi.org/corporate-under…
Not only does @amazon consistently lead the warehouse industry in workplace injuries, with injury rates roughly double the national average, and ranks among the top corporations that forces its workers to utilize Medicaid and food stamps due to poverty wages, Amazon is also now using AI to track workers and rank how likely they are to form unions. seiu.co/3Ub5soY

Since Amazon last made the @ituc #CorporateUnderminders list, the company appears to have been busy grinding away at the pillars of democracy and bending economies to its will. #MakeAmazonPay

Six companies. Billions in power.
And a lot to hide: attacks on workers’ rights, political influence for sale, profits funding anti-democratic forces.
Who benefits? Who pays the price?
The full story drops on 22 October. Stay tuned.
