COTU secretary general Francis Atwoli on Thursday morning attended the fifth International Trade Union Confederation conference in Australia.
In his address to the congress, he encouraged trade unionists around the world to remain vibrant, militant.
He called upon the unionists to remain focused in the execution of their mandate despite the challenges facing workers globally.
ITUC is an organisation that promotes trade union movement.
ITUC works to ensure that the fundamental workers’ rights are promoted by the International Labour Organisation.
Rights such as; the right to organise in a trade union, the right to collective bargaining, protection from discrimination and the elimination of child labour and forced labour are universally respected and enforced.
ITUC stressed that social justice must mean, above all, distributive justice. The ILO Global Jobs Pact provides the framework for attaining such goal.
