Spent last weekend at a Global Solidarity summer school organised by the ICTU in Waterford. This was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the most urgent equality and social justice issues in our world today. Heard some excellent contributions from Elliot Ramochela, General Secretary Lesotho Congress of Democratic Unions, Jeroen Beinaert, The International Trade Union Confederation’s coordinator of the Global Campaign against trafficking, Denise Charlton, Director of the Immigrant Council of Ireland, Steve Benedict from the Human and Trade Union Rights department of the International Trade Union Confederation, Nessa Ni Chasaide, Debt and Development Coalition, Also attended a reception to celebrate the Centenary of the Waterford Council of Trade Unions. A big thanks to the ICTU and delegates for the warm welcome and an excellent weekend.
