BWI invites you, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary, to a global conversation on trade unions and democracy as we face an onslaught of authoritarianism, with illiberal parties and politicians winning power both in the industrialised world and in the Global South.
As these governments implement political and economic experiments based on rabid free market, corporate privileges, and a racist anti-immigration stance, their impact on workers has been monumental.
Hear from human rights defenders and trade unionists as they share their perspectives, experiences, and how they fight back to protect trade union rights, equality, freedom, and dignity.
