Press Release
'Recruit 50 million more trade unionists across the world', says Unite
20 June 2012
A massive global campaign to recruit 50 million more trade unionists is urgently required, said Unite, the UK's largest union.
Unite's assistant general secretary, Tony Burke told more than 1,000 delegates today at the founding congress of the new global union federation, IndustriALL in Copenhagen to mount a large-scale organising programme.
Tony Burke said: "IndustriALL has 50 million members - we need to double that by organising new workers, agency workers, and young workers worldwide.
"Attacks on unions are not just happening in the "developing world" - the attacks take place every day in the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Greece, Italy and Spain by governments and employers."
Tony Burke called for a global organising programme to defend employment rights and warned that IndustriALL cannot become a global "talking shop".
He called on IndustriALL to join every picket line, every dispute and every campaign to defend workers' rights.
Quoting Bob Dylan's Workingman's Blues he told delegates: "You can hang back, or fight your best on the frontline" - IndustriALL had to be on every frontline.
