The Multilateral Partnership for Organizing, Worker Empowerment, and Rights (M-POWER) is a historic global initiative focused on ensuring working families thrive in the global economy and elevating the role of trade unions and organized workers as essential to advancing democracy. M-POWER is a partnership of governments, global and national labor organizations, labor support organizations, and philanthropic institutions from the Global South and the Global North committed to working together to uphold workers’ rights, strengthen the capacity of democratic unions to organize and represent all workers, and facilitate conditions for unions to be active participants in a vibrant civil society. The goals of M-POWER are to ensure that: · Worker organizing, unionization and collective bargaining are promoted; · Workers shape public policy; and · Workers access ILO Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. M-POWER partners share the following objectives: · Strengthen free trade unions; · Support labor law reform and enforcement; · Promote worker organizing and the innovative use of collective bargaining to improve livelihoods; · Extend labor law coverage to protect workers in vulnerable, low-wage employment and those sectors excluded from labor law protection, particularly in the informal economy; · Improve the enabling environment for free exercise of worker voice, association, and participation; · Expand opportunities for worker voice engagement in social dialogue and policy discussions; · Uphold and advance workers’ fundamental rights.

?? A Closer Look at Platform Workers' Health ???? Millions of workers worldwide rely on digital platforms for their livelihood, but at what cost? Long hours, algorithmic control, and job insecurity are taking a serious toll on their physical and mental health. ?? Many platform workers suffer from: ? Musculoskeletal pain from repetitive tasks ?? ? Eye strain from extended screen time ?? ? Headaches and exhaustion due to unpredictable work schedules ?? ? Stress, anxiety, and depression from unstable income and job precarity ???? Despite the promise of flexibility, reality often means low pay, long hours, and unsafe conditions. The gig economy must prioritise workers' well-being and implement real protections. ??https://lnkd.in/def7aVed

SOMO’s CSDDD Datahub is live! ?? ?? Calling all activists, researchers, workers, and journalists striving for corporate accountability! Do you want to know which companies will be covered by the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)? Browse through this unique tool to uncover key data on the corporate groups, subsidiaries, home countries, and sectors of companies expected to comply with this landmark directive! ?? We’ve identified 7,000 companies globally that will be covered by the CSDDD. ?? These companies belong to around 4,300 corporate groups, with only 3,400 headquartered in the EU. ? In other words, the CSDDD will cover far fewer companies in practice than the European Commission’s count suggests, debunking claims by business lobby groups and von der Leyen about the Directive’s supposed economic impact. ?? Companies, take note! The CSDDD will start coming into force in 2027. SOMO's Datahub clearly identifies which companies must be prepared and ready to conduct risk-based due diligence. ??

??TODAY, we're joining over 160 civil society, human rights and environmental defenders, trade unions and climate activists say #NoToOmnibus On 8 November 2024, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced she would introduce a proposal to amend three key pillars of the European Green Deal through an Omnibus law: the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (#CSDDD), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD), and the #EUTaxonomy Regulation. This backlash against the EU’s sustainability framework comes at a time when business accountability is critically needed: ?? Risks creating a race to the bottom in value chain standards, increasing exploitation and environmental harm. ?? Rewards companies that failed to prepare to comply with these legislations while destabilising countries already implementing these laws. ?? Undermines progress made by the #EUGreenDeal instead of fostering a race to the top. We urge President Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission: ?? Actively protect these EU corporate accountability laws. ? Reaffirm the official timeline for their transposition and implementation. ? Be fully transparent about the #Omnibus process. The EU must lead on in the protection of human rights, environment and climate—not backtrack. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ey7bAwSi

?? The B-Ready Index: A Threat to Workers’ Rights Worldwide ?? Instead of promoting economic progress, this initiative encourages the weakening of labor protections and undermines unions—pushing workers into more precarious conditions. Workers’ rights are not barriers to business—they are the foundation of a just, inclusive, and sustainable economy. Fair wages, safe workplaces, and strong unions are essential for progress. Let’s ensure that global development strategies prioritize people over profits. #WorkersRights #FairWork #SocialJustice #SustainableEconomy #Solidarity

?Time is running out before climate change becomes irreversible. Social protection is a key policy lever to help combat the climate crisis and move towards a just transition for all. It generates public support for mitigation and adaptation efforts by protecting people’s incomes, jobs and health from the unintended adverse consequences of climate policies. It is time to up the ante and implement universal social protection. More insights in International Labour Organization’s World Social Protection Report: https://ow.ly/5Gy650TlNs1

In her policy brief, ?? Towards the Inclusion of Migrant Domestic Workers: Renewing Efforts Towards Ratification of ILO Convention No. 189, Vera Pavlou examines the limitations of the recently adopted EU Care Strategy and highlights key lessons from the ratification experiences of ILO Convention No. 189 across different Member States. International Domestic Workers Federation
Today is International Migrants Day! In the European Union, there are approximately 9.5 million domestic workers, the majority of whom are women and migrants, many of them undocumented. The International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 189 seeks to protect the rights of domestic workers and enhance their working conditions. This convention provides a robust framework for recognizing the value of domestic work and ensuring adequate protections. However, only nine EU countries have ratified this important convention: Belgium, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Sweden, and Spain. In her policy brief, ?? Towards the Inclusion of Migrant Domestic Workers: Renewing Efforts Towards Ratification of ILO Convention No. 189, Vera Pavlou examines the limitations of the recently adopted EU Care Strategy and highlights key lessons from the ratification experiences of ILO Convention No. 189 across different Member States. The brief concludes with a series of recommendations, both short- and long-term, aimed at improving the conditions of paid domestic workers and enhancing care provision in the EU. Addressing the care crisis facing our societies requires ensuring decent working conditions for all home-based care workers, whether migrant or national. ?? In the short term, efforts should focus on eliminating exclusions and ensuring equal rights for domestic workers, aligning their protections with those of other workers. ??In the long term, we must work towards establishing egalitarian and socially sustainable care models that prevent social dumping at both local and global levels. ?? https://lnkd.in/dwsXpj74 #carework #SocialProtection UNI Global Union, Mark Bergfeld, European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU), Adam Rogalewski, Dalila Ghailani, Bart Vanhercke
