Belarus: Interview with Luc Triangle, General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)
Luc Triangle, General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), was LabourStart's guest this week on our podcast. The ITUC represents around 200 million workers in 169 countries and territories and has 340 national affiliates.
LabourStart's Eric Lee interviewed Luc about the vicious attacks by the Lukashenko dictatorship in Belarus against trade unionists -- and what the international trade union movement is doing to fight this. Luc spoke about the upcoming 16 April global day of action. "We need to fight against this regime," he said. "We will never accept this reality."
