	World Confederation of Labour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Confederation of Labour (WCL) was founded in 1920 under the name of the "International Federation of Christian Trade Unions" as a confederation of unions associated with the Christian Democratic parties of Europe.
		It chose to remain independent of both the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the World Federation of Trade Unions created in the last days of World War II and the early days of the Cold War.
		The WCL was formally dissolved on 31 October 2006 when it merged with the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) to form the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).

	Two Global Trade Union Federations to Reunite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), whose 250 affiliates in 152 countries represent 138 million union members, and the World Confederation of Labour (WCL), which represents some 27 million workers worldwide, say they hope to consummate the union next year.
		The ILO's "World Employment Report 2004-2005" also found that 185.9 million people who were unemployed in 2003 represent the "tip of the iceberg" of the what the UN agency called "the decent work deficit," since more than seven times that number of people are employed but still live in poverty.
		The WCL, which was created in 1920 as the Federation of Christian Trade Unions and then reconstituted under its present name in 1968, has been closely tied to Christian Democratic parties in Europe and Latin America.

		Traditionally, labour rights are the domain of trade unions and these have a long history of fighting for workers’ rights, mainly within a state, although there has been international co-operation among unions since the 19th century.
		Seven labour research centres from seven African countries analysed the current economic and labour policies to see their impact on the labour force and the organised labour movement in general, and women in particular.

	State of the World Forum
		The use of war as an instrument of international politics ¾particularly "preventive war action"¾ cannot be justified and risks unleashing serious consequences all over the world.
		Only when the market becomes an environmentally sustainable instrument at the service of human social development, and not an end in itself, will we be able to reach, at least, the objectives set at the Millennium Summit.
		Only through a multilateral system with democratic representation, based on universal ethical principles (as enshrined in declarations of human, social and economic rights), one capable of responding to the great challenges that currently face humanity, can we recover our confidence in ourselves, in our identity as “We, the peoples”.

		When they come up against the labour market, and whether they come from developing or from developed countries, more and more people are finding that they are on their own and unable to make their voice heard.
		Others see workers' organizations and traditional collective labour relationships as leftovers from the past that are unable to cope with all the different concerns and levels of industrial relations and believe that the new forms of cooperation with workers are better suited to present-day constraints.
		In spite of numerous constraints, concludes the report, "the variety of informal sector associations that exist throughout the world is a clear indication of the ability of informal sector workers to grasp (...) the opportunities provided by the State or the law in terms of both material support and social recognition".

		In any country of the world, a trade union organization must be established in conformity with the legal and constitutional order of that country, and not in violation of it or for its destruction.

	Workers Rights violated in Cuba by Fidel Castro
		The Labour Code, which was published in 1985, does not provide for any genuine freedom of association.
		The Labour Code requires that in order to be valid legally, collective agreements must be discussed and approved in workers' meetings and be formally declared in writing and signed by the parties.
		Noting "that those responsible for acts of anti-union discrimination should be sanctioned", the Committee stated "that measures depriving trade unionists of their freedom on grounds related to their trade union activity, even where they are merely summoned or questioned for a short period, constitute an obstacle to the exercise of trade union rights".
