International Workers’ Memorial Day
As workers around the world who have lost their lives to workplace accidents and disease are commemorated on 28 April, trade unions are pressing two key demands to save lives.
- Occupational health and safety must be given the status of a fundamental right by the International Labour Organization (ILO), alongside the existing fundamental rights: freedom of association, collective bargaining and protection from discrimination, forced labour and child labour. A landmark decision by the ILO Governing Body in March means this should happen at the ILO Conference in June 2022.
Sharan Burrow, ITUC General Secretary, said: “This is an issue of the utmost importance and it has already taken too long to resolve. Poor workplace health and safety costs some 2.78 million lives every year.
“Making occupational health and safety a fundamental ILO right will increase the accountability of governments and employers to stop the carnage and give more leverage to unions and workplace safety representatives. Only bad employers would resist this and we are prepared to fight hard to save lives.”
- COVID-19 must be classified as an occupational disease. This would provide enhanced protection for workers and enable access to compensation funds for families of workers who die or are infected with Covid-19 at work. Last year, global unions called on the ILO to list Covid-19 as an occupational disease and an initial ITUC survey of 58 countries shows that, so far, only 26 have taken this step. In some cases this coverage is restricted to workers in the health sector.
“Most Covid-19 outbreaks happen in workplaces, including schools. Safe workplaces would play a crucial role in suppressing the spread of the pandemic.
“Access to compensation for work-related Covid-19 is especially important, in particular because it has killed many workers and can cause debilitating illness long after infection.
“While we welcome coverage of health workers, it is wrong that some countries have excluded others such as meat packing and warehouse workers who, through poor regulation and employer neglect, have seen high rates of infection.
“Every worker deserves to be covered. Those countries that have failed to act must do so without further delay, and ILO listing would encourage that,” said Sharan Burrow.
The ITUC is also calling for a massive boost in the production of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19. This must include the removal of all barriers, including intellectual property and profit-gouging, to ensure that vaccines, tests, treatments and other public health tools are available to all, without discrimination.

Trade unions set out demands for UN Financing for Development Forum
The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) has published its demands for the 2021 United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Financing for Development (FfD) Forum to build recovery and resilience in the future economy.
The event brings together heads of state, ministers and high-level officials. It will consider solutions on financing the COVID-19 recovery and sustainable development on the path to 2030.
The ITUC demands in ‘Financing Recovery and Building the Economy of the Future’ that a New Social Contract and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the core of post-pandemic economic planning with:
- investments in jobs creation;
- climate-friendly jobs;
- scaling up universal social protection;
- and supporting the role of social partners in crafting sustainable measures for recovery and resilience.
Decent, climate-friendly jobs
Sharan Burrow, ITUC General Secretary, said: “Support for employment should continue to reverse the economic and social consequences of the crisis, until the pandemic is defeated.
“We need universal access to testing, treatment, and vaccines. We need strategies and public policies to ensure the creation of decent jobs and climate-friendly jobs, accompanied by Just Transition measures, to guarantee that no one is left behind in industrial transformation processes.”
Recovery and resilience measures should be funded by:
- debt relief and increased public development assistance for developing countries, allowing them to manage crisis responses;
- resource mobilisation efforts through progressive taxation at national level complemented by strengthening international cooperation in ending tax evasion and illicit financial flows, including a minimum tax floor for all corporations, a billionaires or wealth tax, and a financial transactions tax.
“The response to the crisis must be built on the engagement of social partners to rebuild trust in institutions and assist in crafting equitable policies. We need a new model of global governance to redress the current imbalance of power and uneven distribution of wealth at international level. A truly inclusive multilateral system where social partners are on board and have a say will make the difference and pave the way to global resilience,” added Sharan Burrow.
