Worker's International

Building and Wood Worker's International

The BWI is the Global Union Federation grouping free and democratic unions with members in the Building, Building Materials, Wood, Forestry and Allied sectors.

Call for Action: 2023 International Human Rights Day

Fighting for human rights depends on unity, collective force, and concerted action. Whenever and wherever they are threatened, trade unions are there to defend them. There is no more powerful transformative force in our societies than organised workers. We can shift the balance of power at the workplace and in our communities through the power of collective solidarity and action.
