Health as a universal right; a sustainable and democratic development model; protection of the weakest; quality public services; fairer tax systems; decent jobs with full rights… International unionism raises the banner of social justice for the post-pandemic era and demands a new global governance that protects human rights in all corners of the planet. The call, formulated by unions around the world, calls for profound reforms in the world order to guarantee, among others, the right to health and work on a universal scale, as well as a change of course in certain economic policies. Capital advances by capturing democracies in favor of its interests The manifesto, released this Tuesday, calls for action against the dominant neoliberal hegemony that, as in previous crises, “has used the pandemic as a pretext” to “impose more precarious work and the withdrawal of social rights.” The loss of jobs as a result of covid reflects dramatic data: more than 305 million fewer jobs according to ILO estimates. “Global production chains with millions of subcontracted workers in precarious conditions” and an increasingly weakened umbrella of social protection in many countries where hunger and misery are growing.
This scenario is where capital advances, capturing democracies in favor of its interests,” union organizations warn. Have you read this? Class unionism against the new fascism European unions - among them the Spanish ones -, Latin American, Asian... have joined this call together with the International Trade Union Confederation (CSI) to stop the drift of the concentration of Malta Phone Number wealth in a few hands and the growth of inequality on a global scale . “We come from decades of global hegemony of ultra-economic liberalism, which preaches an individualistic, anti-public, anti-state, anti-union and anti-social narrative. Neoliberal and far-right policies, as well as coups d'état, have caused numerous disturbances that attack and weaken democracy. The pandemic has also shown the emergence of a growing nationalism that opposes the global cooperative action necessary to collectively confront this virus and its consequences,” they say. Among its proposals for a new global governance , the union coalition proposes the suspension of patents on vaccines and medicines against covid to guarantee universal access to them. Within the framework of a new development model, they are committed to a sustainable industry as a response to the climate crisis, and the conversion of the military industry "into a sustainable and unarmed civil industry to build rights, democracy, cooperation and peace.
They also demand new adjustments in regulatory, fiscal and labor systems; the end of privatizations, more public investment and the cancellation and renegotiation of state debts and the end of embargoes; as well as taxes on digital services for technology giants, large fortunes and financial transactions. They expressly demand “not to provide any rescue financing to companies that continue to operate through tax havens.” Decent employment is at the center of their demands with a clear commitment to the recovery of jobs lost due to the pandemic and the recognition of essential activities. Without forgetting the reinforcement of guarantee mechanisms for freedom of association or collective bargaining and the participation of the social partners in all agreements and treaties that are negotiated.
