The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the world’s largest trade union body, today (December 11) reiterated its support for the Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP), the world’s largest anti-poverty campaign. Speaking at an Executive Board meeting in Hong Kong, ICFTU’s General Secretary Guy Ryder called on world leaders to put development back into the development agenda. “In Hong Kong for this 6th WTO Ministerial, the international trade union movement stands side by side with the rest of civil society demanding that national governments gathered here use global institutions to improve the lives of billions of people,” said Ryder.
