The BWI is the Global Union Federation grouping free and democratic unions with members in the Building, Building Materials, Wood, Forestry and Allied sectors.
Amidst impending industrial transitions towards a net-zero economy, trade unions in construction, building materials, wood and forestry sectors are undertaking initiatives to ensure that the transition is managed equitably for workers.
On this Global Day of Action for the Amazon, 5 September, the Building and Wood Workers’ International (BWI) seeks to highlight the struggles of the Amazon's population under the banner #ListenToAmazonianVoices.
To celebrate the 2024 International Youth Day on 12 August, the BWI is calling on its affiliates, partners, and young workers to take action to spread the demand of the BWI Youth to fist up for the planet to build a liveable world!
