In need of solidarity: courageous opponents of uncompromising authoritarianism exile
The New Global Labour Colum is part of the Special Series "Organising Under Authoritarian Regimes". The author, Frank Hoffer, discusses the situation of authoritarian leaders suppressing human rights internally not them suppressing neighbouring countries.

the XV GLU Conference “Building a Post-Pandemic World of Work with Social Justice
The Covid-19 pandemic, digitalization, climate change, right-wing populism, and rising authoritarianism have changed the world of work.
In this 2022 edition of the GLU-Conference hosted by Penn State University, AFL-CIO, ICDD and FES, we analyze these developments and ask how we build anew our workplaces and societies based on social justice.
In GLU’s unique blend of academic work and trade union activism, we offer discussions in 7 tracks on: inclusive social protection; ending gender-based violence and racism at work; worker organizing for a just transition; organizing workers in and across the platform economy; empowering migrant workers; workers' rights under rising authoritarianism; global supply chains and joint collaboration of academics and trade unionists.
