Since 2008, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) has been organizing the World Day for Decent Work (WDDW) on 7 October. It is a day for mobilization for all trade unions across the globe, from Fiji in the east to Hawaii in the west.

Basic rights to union representation and collective bargaining are under threat in many countries and under direct attack in others. Too many governments are failing to protect working people today, and failing to build a sustainable future for the generations to come. Catastrophic weather events caused by climate change are already ruining lives and livelihoods, yet political leaders have still to find the courage to make a global climate agreement.

On October 7 - the World Day for Decent Work, unions across the planet will be holding rallies, workplace activities, public actions and a multitude of other events, in support of justice for workers and climate justice.
