Trump Takes ‘Wrecking Ball’ to Workers’ Rights Amid Global ‘Freefall’

As seen on The Guardian

International Trade Union Confederation issued report showing conditions for workers’ rights across the globe have worsened

Workers’ rights across every continent in the world are in a “freefall”, according to the 2025 Global Rights Index released by the International Trade Union Confederation, the largest trade union federation in the world.

The index noted workers’ rights and democracy around the world are often under attack by “far-right politicians and their unelected billionaire backers. Whether it’s Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the US or Javier Milei and Eduardo Eurnekian in Argentina, we see the same playbook of unfairness and authoritarianism in action around the world.”
