A virtual meeting of the WFTU Secretariat took place on July 27th, 2022, which analysed the developments in the trade union movement worldwide and discussed several important issues including the WFTU Action Plan for the second semester of 2022 and the allocation of responsibilities and duties of the Secretariat members.

The World Federation of Trade Unions, the militant voice of 105 million workers who struggle through hundreds of class unions in 133 countries on 5 continents, salutes the historic and heroic anniversary of 26 July marked by the attack on the Moncada barracks.

The World Federation of Trade Unions calls upon its affiliates to stand beside the trade unionists in Italy and condemn the new attacks with a protest to the embassies and consulars of Italy in their countries, sending the clear message that the workers in Italy are not alone and the attempts to subordinate the militant unions are in vain. They cannot stop the class struggle, they never could!
