The BWI is the Global Union Federation grouping free and democratic unions with members in the Building, Building Materials, Wood, Forestry and Allied sectors.
The largest tropical rainforest worldwide, the Amazon, currently faces illegal timber extraction and climate law violations, precarious work conditions, modern slavery and other human rights abuses.
To celebrate the 2023 International Youth Day on 12 August, BWI is calling on affiliates, partners, and young workers to take action along the theme “Just Politics: Better Future!” to spread the message that young working people must stand up for democracy, freedom and the planet to build a liveable world!
