DISK / GENEL-IS International

On #WorldDayforDecentWork , @genelis.bsky.social @emearastirma.bsky.social report marks a stark reality:

🇹🇷 Ranks 1st in Europe for income inequality.
💰 Richest 20% earn 9 times more than poorest 20%.
⚠️ 2 in 10 people live in poverty.

Decent wage is a right, not a privilege! ✊ tinyurl.com/3kwv6b5c

According to @ilo.org, 70% of workers globally are exposed to excessive heat, resulting in:

⚠️ 23 million non-fatal injuries,
⚠️ 18,970 deaths annually.

Türkiye recorded its hottest July in 55 years, with an all-time high of 50.5°C.

🛡️ Protect workers' health,
🛡️ Protect the future!

📌 We were at the @ilo.org Turkey Office today.

Mr. Yasser Ahmed Hassan, Director of ILO Turkey, graciously accepted us despite his busy schedule.

223 members dismissed from #Van metropolitan municipality were the main topic of discussion.

✊ We call for our members to be reinstated!

Dramatic figures revealed in DİSK-AR's new report on the state of employment:

⚠️ Broad unemployment is 3 x EU,
⚠️ Only 34 of 100 people in registered full-time jobs,
⚠️ Youth unemployment exceeds 40%.

Strongly endorsed in the report: "Young people have lost hope of finding work!"

🗨️ Luc Triangle:

"It is working people who are paying the highest price for war. It is our lives that are lost. It is our families who are shattered. It is our livelihoods and communities and ecosystems which are destroyed."

Call for action:

Against atrocities in #Gaza from union federations in Europe, including EPSU:

▪️End all trade and economic relations with Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.

In Van, 300 municipal workers - including @genelis.bsky.social members - were dismissed.

In yesterday's press briefing, we declared this is an attack:

⚠️ on rights & freedoms,
⚠️ on secure employment,
⚠️ on unionisation!

Dismissals must end - all workers must be reinstated now! ✊ #Solidarity

We are marking the #InternationalYouthDay2025 in times of polycrisis. For youth, this means a reality characterized by:

⚠️ precarity,
⚠️ exclusion,
⚠️ structural violence!

ITUC's new paper shows how organised young workers are resisting, putting forward proposals & taking action! ✊
