Watch the message from IFJ Secretary General, Anthony Bellanger to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia:

 

"In the context of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, the IFJ must recall here that the entire trade union movement must get involved. Trade unionists are together, united in diversity. Our trade union values of solidarity include LGBTI+ workers, who face discrimination and violence at work on a daily basis. On 17 May, let's support our LGBTI+ members and support this community".
