Trade Unions: Half Measures will not fix broken Global Economy

[billyoc]

International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)
BRUSSELS

In a worldwide push for action by G20 governments to
pull the global economy out of recession and chart a
new course for job creation, financial regulation and
global governance, trade unions across the world are
today delivering a common set of demands to their
national governments. The five-point union plan, which
includes detailed policy proposals, sets out the
actions needed to tackle the crisis and build a fairer
and more sustainable world economy for the future. It
calls for:

- a coordinated international recovery and sustainable
growth plan to create jobs and ensure public
investment;

- nationalisation of insolvent banks and new financial
regulations;

- action to combat the risk of wage deflation and
reverse decades of increasing inequality;

- far-reaching action on climate change;

- a new international legal framework to regulate the
global economy along with reform of the global
financial and economic institutions (IMF, World Bank,
OECD, WTO).
