Together For A Just World

“The era we live in moves faster than time itself. As unions, we are not yet fully
prepared for this transformation. That is why we must strengthen international
cooperation more than ever.”
He noted that the digital era offers opportunities but also brings deep social
injustices:
“The absence of justice in income and opportunity also manifests itself in digi-
tal access. We cannot allow digitalization to exclude human labour.”
Commenting on the tragedy in Gaza, he said:

“In the 21st century, when bombs are not enough, hunger is used as a weapon
— Israel is committing genocide before the eyes of the world. This is not only a
test for Palestine but for the future of humanity itself.”

Öksüz warned that wars devastate not only human lives but also production,
supply chains, and labour markets, and called for legal protection mechanisms
in the digital economy:

“We must rebuild legal safeguards against the challenges of the digitalized wor-
ld of work. Joint union action and legal solidarity are essential for the new era.”

He concluded by underlining the rising role of civil society:
“Governments may remain silent, but the people never do. The global outcry of
civil society has isolated Israel. We must amplify that same solidarity for the
future of labour.”
