1 August, 2001Workers and trade unions will mark the first day of the WTO Qatar conference with their unwillingness to accept the negative effects of globalisation.
GLOBAL: The Steering Committee of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions has taken a unanimous decision to hold the first-ever "Global Unions' Day of Action" on Friday, November 9, 2001. The objective of this campaign, which will see a range of actions staged on that day in workplaces throughout the world, is to demonstrate the determination of the international trade union movement to stop destructive globalisation.
The ICFTU says it supports a "globalisation underpinned by solidarity and justice, not one that undermines the values and working and living conditions of the workers of the world and their communities."
November 9 is the first day of the 5-day meeting of the 4th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organisation, being held in Qatar.
