Building and Wood Worker's International

The BWI is the Global Union Federation grouping free and democratic unions with members in the Building, Building Materials, Wood, Forestry and Allied sectors.

Action alert: Union organising, not a crime!

In the run-up to BWI’s first World Board Meeting from 31 May to 1 June, we call on all our affiliates around the world to mobilise online and offline in support of a Global Day of Action on 1 June 2023 to defend trade union rights, put an end to the systematic persecution of trade union leaders, and express solidarity with all the brave trade unionists, particularly women workers, who are risking their liberty and lives to protect labour rights and democracy.
