Now here's a very interesting idea that is unlikely to go down well with employers' representatives in @ILO
How can we stop the global race to the bottom in wages?
Simple: A Global Minimum Wage

This is the current front runner to be our next PM. 🤦♀️

A new book on co-operatives and the world of work is available for pre-ordering @ilo @ica @cicopa #coops bit.ly/2XFvmyu
Macron also recognises that economic inequality in general is related to the inherent inequality of the employment relationship, which is not something you hear every day from a world leader.
Macron argues that neoliberalism and the 'capitalism of accumulation' are a perversion of what the liberal market economy should be about. A new model is needed. /5
The heritage of the @ILO is both concrete social progress and the method of tripartism. /4
First thing was strong defence of tripartism -- the joint development of social & economy policy by governments, unions and employers. It's a pain in the neck (he didn't say that in so many words) but it works. /3
@CyrilRamaphosa up next at #ILC2019. Ramaphosa is one of ILO's most important international allies and was co-chair of the Global Commission on the Future of Work so will be interesting to hear whether he has anything to say beyond the usual friendly words
@CyrilRamaphosa echoes both Norway PM's call for a strengthening of the multilateral rules-based order and Ghana President's call for reform of @ILO's own governance structures
Call for unity within the @ILO may be a coded reference to ongoing serious disagreement between workers' and employers' representatives on, well, just about everything...
