Our Work

A range of campaign initiatives and activities are undertaken by the Congress Sector Groups. Campaigning for workers’ rights and influencing global issues are integral components of what Congress does.

Congress continues to confront major issues such as the scourge of low pay, the right to collective bargaining and the growing challenges of climate change.

ICTU develop a mix of accredited online courses to help you keep up-to-date with changes in the law, the economy or industrial relations practice in relation to Covid-19.

A Just Transition helps to protect jobs and create new employment opportunities as we move to cut emissions and tackle climate change.

The promotion of human rights, equality and diversity is a fundamental principle of trade unionism and part of our daily struggle for freedom, equality and justice for all.

The ICTU runs regular events and conferences. Check out our latest events on the events page.

Congress is very conscious of being part of the global labour movement. Trade unions play an important role in reducing poverty and achieving equality.

Trade Unions regard health and safety as a key issue because there is no more fundamental a right than the entitlement to return home from your work safe.
