💰 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. 🔗 Read the article: buff.ly/8gmxeLZ @keeporganizing #FightForDemocracy

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 🔗 buff.ly/3HLavRC #FighForDemocracy @eduinternational.bsky.social

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: buff.ly/YU4tSnU 💪🏾 Democracy is not for sale. Workers' rights are not negotiable. #FightForDemocracy @ituc_africa @itucasiapacific @csa_tuca @etuc_ces @ArabTradeUnion @Iloactrav

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. Amazon is one of six companies exposed in our new Corporate Underminers of Democracy 2026 report: buff.ly/YU4tSnU 💪🏾 Democracy is not for sale. Workers' rights are not negotiable. #FightForDemocracy @ituc_africa @itucasiapacific @csa_tuca @etuc_ces @ArabTradeUnion @Iloactrav

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
