5 April, 2012As ICEM, IMF and ITGLWF's dissolution and founding Congresses approach, www.building-power.org website goes live.
DENMARK/GLOBAL: In order to provide affiliates from all three organizations with useful information on the dissolution Congresses of International Metalworkers' Federation (IMF), International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions (ICEM) and International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers Federation (ITGLWF), various side meetings and the founding Congress of IndustriALL Global Union, a special website has been created at: http://www.building-power.org/
The dissolution Congresses of the three organizations and founding Congress of the new organization will take place in Copenhagen from June 18 to 20, 2012. The proposed name IndustriALL Global Union, Statutes, Action Plan and political leadership of the new organization will be decided on at the founding Congress. The website (Link: http://www.building-power.org/ ) will provide useful information and relevant documents for participants, and will later include live reports from the event including news articles, videos and photos.
Having greater strength and building power across the supply chain at the global level is the motivating force for the creation of IndustriALL, hence the Congress theme Building Power.
