Emergency Resolution 2:
On Solidarity with the Working Class in Brazil

Submitted by FENATRAD

Whereas, Brazil has just elected a President of neo-fascist, sexist, racist and anti-worker tendencies representing a real risk to human and labor rights of the working class and especially those that are contemplated in the Convention 189 for domestic workers.

It is resolved that IDWF and its affiliated organizations commit to:

  • The IDWF Congress releases a statement to the Brazilian government to express our deepest concern and to demand for respect of human and trade union rights.
  • Participate in solidarity actions with the working class in Brazil and with Lula abroad, together with the International Trade Union Confederation, the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas, Global Unions Federations, and national trade union centers, and other allies.
  • To call upon the ILO and UN to closely monitor the situation of trade union and human rights.
