When we strengthen labor rights abroad, we protect jobs here at home. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs fights to level the playing field for America’s workers. Cuts to the agency will hurt workers here and around the world.
Solidarity is about movements and it’s about people. Our union friends at LO Norway are helping continue Solidarity Center programs in Palestine and Ukraine to ensure workers have a voice, fair wages and safe jobs.✊🌍 #GlobalSolidarity #WorkerRights

We’re challenging the unlawful termination of all international worker rights programs funded by the US Dept. of Labor. These programs helped workers organize, raise wages, end child labor and hold powerful corporations accountable.

DOGE's decision to cut over $500 Million in ILAB grants was unconstitutional, illegal, and arbitrary, and the cuts must be reversed. @solidaritycenter.bsky.social and other grant recipients are making the world better for all workers, including workers in the US. Their work needs to continue.
Today we filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Labor's unlawful termination of congressionally authorized international labor rights programs. Visit sclinks.co/ilab-lawsuit to read our full statement.
When workers can organize and join unions, they have the collective power to change their lives, build stronger communities and create fairer societies.

Cutting these programs abandons workers & rolls back decades of progress combating forced & child labor.
Scoop: Labor Department emails show that Trump admin has plans to immediately end U.S.-backed programs that combat child labor, forced labor, & other abuses in more than 40 counties.
"This will affect some of the world’s most vulnerable children.”
www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Eliminating programs will:
🚨 Leave workers & children vulnerable to forced labor
🚨 Silence efforts to improve working conditions peacefully
🚨 Ignore root causes of migration: poverty wages & unsafe work
🚨 Enable a race to the bottom, lowering labor standards everywhere
We don’t just support worker rights – we help workers turn those rights into reality. We provide the training, resources & legal support workers need to push for fair pay, demand safe working conditions & ensure they are treated with respect.
