From 2008 through 2016, LabourStart organised a series of seven Global Solidarity Conferences in London, Washington, Hamilton (Ontario), Istanbul, Sydney, Berlin and Toronto.
Due to organisational issues and the pandemic, we haven't held one since 2016.
For that reason, we're delighted to announce that the next Global Solidarity Conference will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia from 27 - 30 April 2023.
(That's a provisional date and is subject to change.)
The conference will be hosted by the Georgian Trade Union Confederation.
We will have much more information in the next few weeks and will begin online registration for the conference as soon as we can.
Meanwhile -- please note the dates in your diary!

Myanmar: Help us grow the campaign
The campaign launched by global unions in support of democracy in Myanmar needs to grow -- and to grow quickly -- if we are going to persuade the United Nations General Assembly to refuse to seat the military dictators.
After the first week online, the campaign has 5,267 supporters and it appears in 23 languages, with more on the way.
(A big thank you to all our volunteer translators.)
Please sign up to support this campaign if you've not yet done so. It will take just a few seconds of your time.
Please ask your union to inform all its members in an email message to sign up to support the campaign. Email is the best way to build support for our campaigns.
Having said that, please also share the campaign link across social media if you use Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. Here's a sample post which you can copy and paste:
