What Name for New GUF? Suggest It!

26 September, 2011

On 18-20 June 2012, a new Global Union Federation (GUF) will see daylight at a founding congress in Copenhagen, Denmark.

But what shall the new International be called? Now you have the chance to make a proposal.

The organization will unite 50 million workers in more than 140 countries in mining, energy, metal, electronics, chemicals, paper, rubber, materials, garments, shoe, leather textile industries.

It aims to connect workers, fight for labour rights and build global solidarity across entire supply chains. It will be a strong counterweight to multinational companies and promote social justice, democracy and a sustainable future for the whole world.

Such a powerful organization needs a fresh and identifiable name. Your contribution is welcome. Please send your proposal by e-mail to [email protected] at the latest by 31 October 2011.

A joint Executive Committee meeting of the IMF, ICEM, and ITGLWF will decide upon a name at the end of February 2012.
