Organising and Social Dialogue

Organising is key to building workers’ power and consolidating the strength of democratic and independent trade unions. Being organised and recognised as legitimate representatives of the workers also builds the profile of trade unions as an indispensable social partner in social dialogue.
Organising and Social Dialogue

Organising is key to building workers’ power and consolidating the strength of democratic and independent trade unions. However, organising has become more challenging due to a number of interlinked factors, including the shrinking democratic space in the region, the increasing labour flexibilisation, the swelling informal economy, and emergence of new forms of employment arrangements. In this regard, the ITUC-Asia Pacific provides its affiliates practical organising skills to increase their membership and union density and engage with non-ITUC organisations towards forging trade union solidarity and unity in Asia and the Pacific region and internationally.   

Being organised and recognised as legitimate representatives of the workers builds the profile of trade unions as a indispensable social partner in social dialogue. The ITUC-AP promotes social dialogue as a governance instrument to improve the quality of decisions and policies through the involvement of the main stakeholders in the world of work, to resolve important economic and employment issues, to encourage good governance, and to advance social and industrial peace and stability. Social dialogue is an important mechanism to ensure that workers’ voices on matters that affect them are raised and heard.

Impeaching Yoon Suk Yeol: A victory of people’s Power in Korea to protect democracy
On 14 December, South Korea’s National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol with more than a two-thirds majority. Consequently, Yoon’s duties have been suspended, and the Constitutional Court now has up to 180 days to decide whether to remove him from office. Considering the gravity of his act of rebellion to subvert constitutional orders—by criticizing opposition parties for not aligning with his views and using the military and police to storm the legislature, as well as to suppress the rights and freedoms of the people—the National Assembly’s decision should be seen as entirely justified.

On 26 November 2024, millions of farmers and workers held coordinated protests in over 500 districts across India, marking the fourth anniversary of the farmers’ historic struggle that began alongside a nationwide workers’ strike. The protests were jointly organised by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions (CTUs) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) to demand urgent action on a wide-ranging charter of demands (see photos below), focusing on addressing the deepening agrarian crisis, economic inequalities, loss of social security, and government policies that favour corporations at the expense of ordinary citizens.
