G7 and G20
The G7 and G20 are two important forums bringing together countries to shape political consensus on a broad range of issues such as climate action, economic and monetary policies, development and the international financial system, as well as health, education, labour and employment policies.
The OECD is actively engaged in the work of the G7 and G20, to influence the processes and outcomes. In collaboration with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), TUAC coordinates the work of the Labour 7 (L7) and Labour 20 (L20), to bring the voice of trade unions to the G7 and G20. As formal engagement groups, the L7 and L20 strive to ensure that governments prioritise worker-centred policies, the protection of human and labour rights, climate action, and the reduction of inequalities.
TUAC’s work in this area is led by Martin Denis. For more information, please contact denis@tuac.org.
