Global level On a global level, we also participate in the development of international framework agreements and social rights. We do this as a fellow player in several important global trade union confederations.

We are currently supporting the Arab Workers Union in Israel, the Alliance of Health Workers in the Philippines, the textile trade union Garteks in Indonesia, GK in Bangladesh and NDW in India.
