Some 2000 trade unionists from around the world will come together in Nagasaki, Japan, in November for the UNI Global Union 3rd World Congress, which will set the course for UNI’s next four years.
NAGASAKI, JAPAN / 9-12 NOVEMBER 2010
UNI’s key challenges include developing strategies to come out of the global financial crisis with government recovery plans that put people back to work, fighting staggering income inequality and ensuring workers in every corner of the world have the right to organise and bargain collectively. UNI is also facing head on the threats from climate change and from the build up of nuclear weapons.
On this site, you can find information about UNI’s Breaking Through plan, its fight for jobs and justice during the global economic crisis and the push for world peace and freedom from fear for union activists.
UNI will also host in Nagasaki its UNI World Women’s Conference, a gathering of women trade union leaders. UNI will introduce at its Congress a motion to ensure at least 40 percent of its leadership positions are held by women.
UNI will be blogging from Nagasaki from November 6-12, so come back for live updates of all Congress activities.
