The World Day for Decent Work is commemorated annually on October 7, led by the International Trade Union Confederation - ITUC to promote the idea of decent work globally.

Since October 7, 2008, working people, their unions, and supporters worldwide have mobilised to fight for social justice, the dignity of all workers, and the protection of the socially vulnerable.

As authoritarianism and escalating military conflicts devastate workers’ lives across the globe, this World Day for Decent Work sees workers demanding peace and democracy.

Trade unions reaffirm their stance: without peace, there can be no social justice, and without social justice, peace cannot last.

“Workers must be involved in the peace and reconstruction processes if they are to succeed and create the necessary conditions for lasting peace and stability,” said Luc Triangle, General Secretary of the ITUC.

As a non-partisan, research-focused institute, CELSI contributes to informed policymaking through its evidence-based research, analysis, and expertise, supporting stability, democracy, security, and fair working conditions.
