BRUSSELS: Juan Somavia, Director General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and Bill Jordan, General Secretary of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) are launching an online debate on "Organised Labour in the 21st
Century" on September 15.
The online debate or 'Conference' is aimed at trade unionists and labour researchers and is expected to run for about twelve months. Each month new guest speakers will be invited to act as "panellists", to take questions on the month's hot topic. All questions will be gathered and selected by a moderator, so that anything posted to the conference is monitored before it goes out over the list.
Discussion will focus on the future of trade unions around the world. The Conference will be run by the ILO's International Institute for Labour Studies, in cooperation with the ICFTU.
Those interested in participating in the Conference are encouraged to sign up in time for the opening, so that they will have a chance to react and put questions to the keynote speakers by e-mail or over the web.
