Together For A Just World
“Human beings must never be treated as a cost factor within systems — wor-
kers must remain the central subjects of transformation.”
He reiterated the importance of embedding transparency, accountability and
worker participation into digital transition strategies.
Economic Transformation and the Crisis of Social Protection
Reflecting on global economic restructuring, Öksüz noted that economic growth
has increasingly decoupled from social security and equitable distribution.
Rising inequality, precarious employment and weakening social protection sys-
tems were identified as major structural challenges.
“Without strong trade unions, a sustainable and socially just economy is not
possible.”
He stressed the need for renewed collective bargaining frameworks and la-
bour-centred economic policies.
Climate Crisis and the Imperative of a Just Transition
Highlighting the ecological dimension of labour transformation, Öksüz empha-
sised that climate change is no longer a future threat but a present reality res-
haping workplaces and livelihoods.
Extreme weather conditions, environmental disruptions and structural secto-
ral changes require coordinated responses grounded in the principle of a “just
transition.”
“Green transformation must not produce new inequalities. It must create secu-
re employment, inclusive opportunities and social justice.”
