ITUC 5th World Congress: One month to go

There is just one month until the opening of the 5th ITUC World Congress in Melbourne, Australia – the global workers’ parliament that will bring together around 1,000 trade unionists from over 130 countries and territories.

From 17 to 22 November 2022, delegates from over 300 national trade union centres will debate the agenda for the world trade union movement for the next four years.

Based on the draft statement, discussions will centre on the theme of a new social contract: climate-friendly jobs, workers’ rights, just wages, social protection, equality and inclusion.

Special forums will focus on lessons from global shocks, technology and impacts on work, an inclusive union movement, and climate and just transition.

The ITUC World Congress can be watched live on the website and followed via #ITUC22 on social media.
