IndustriALL Global Union, which will be established in June 2012 and will bring together affiliates of the International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers’ Unions (ICEM), the International Textile, Garment, Leather Workers’ Federation (ITGLWF), and the International Metalworkers’ Federation (IMF), will prioritise the fight against contract and agency labour, and other forms of precarious work.
IndustriALL will build on the work which has been done through the ICEM’s Contract and Agency Labour campaign, the IMF’s ‘Precarious Work Affects Us All’ campaign and the ITGLWF’s work on insecure employment in countries such as Peru, Cambodia, India and Turkey.
The campaign against precarious work will be launched by IndustriALL at its founding congress in June, and the new Global Union will call on all affiliates to mobilise around this issue on the World Day for Decent Work on 7thOctober.
