The Building and Wood Workers’ International (BWI) warmly congratulated Atle Høie on his resounding re-election as General Secretary of IndustriALL during its 4th Congress held in Sydney, Australia, from 4 to 7 November 2025. Attending the congress, BWI General Secretary Ambet Yuson personally conveyed BWI’s congratulations to Høie, praising his leadership, unwavering commitment to workers’ rights, and clarity of purpose at a time when the global labour movement faces unprecedented challenges.

Yuson also reaffirmed BWI’s commitment to strengthening its cooperation with IndustriALL under Høie’s continued leadership. As the global labour movement confronts multiple crises such as climate change, shrinking democratic space, and deepening inequality, the BWI General Secretary stressed that unity and solidarity are vital in advancing just transitions, defending workers’ rights and dignity, and expanding union power globally.

“BWI stands proudly with Atle and with IndustriALL as both our organisations continue our shared struggle for decent work, democracy, and social justice,” Yuson said. #
