BELGIUM: Between 3,000 and 5,000 European workers rallied at the Opel plant in Antwerp on September 23 in response to a call from the European Metalworkers' Federation for mobilisation and solidarity in the light of the current restructuring of GM Europe and the threat of closure of the Antwerp plant.EMF general secretary Peter Scherrer welcomed trade unionists from Spain, England, Germany, Poland, Hungary and France to the rally as well as the workers in Belgium.&quot;We will address management again and again regarding our principle demands, which are: no to the closure of plants and no to forced redundancies!&quot; said Scherrer.&quot;We all know that when we do not fight for Antwerp today, tomorrow it will be Bochum, Luton or Zaragossa. We all know that if we do not stick together as firmly as possible we all will lose this fight,&quot; he said.&quot;We need responsible behaviour from the governments and politicians. We will not accept that workers are the hostages of political games. We want effective co-ordination of help, support and aid given to companies at European level,&quot; argued Scherrer.Other speakers at the rally include Klaus Franz, the Chairman of EEF (the GM European Works Council) and trade union leaders of the Belgian trade unions.

USA: Unions and environmental groups launched a campaign on August 19, highlighting the benefits to American workers and businesses of transitioning to a clean energy economy that will create millions of jobs.The &quot;Made in America&quot; Jobs Tour started in Ohio on August 20, the first of 50 stops across 22 states organised by the Alliance for Climate Protection's Repower America campaign, in partnership with the Blue Green Alliance and its labour and environmental partners.&quot;Building a clean energy economy can revitalize American manufacturing, but only if we commit to using domestically produced components,&quot; said United Steelworkers International President Leo W. Gerard. &quot;In confronting the challenges of recession, global warming and energy independence, we have an opportunity to transform our economy and create good jobs that truly are 'made in America.'&quot;A recent Blue Green Alliance report found if the U.S. instituted a national renewable energy standard, more than 850,000 manufacturing jobs at firms already in existence across all 50 states could be created manufacturing the parts for wind, solar, geothermal and biomass power. &quot;We can create millions of jobs building the clean energy economy - whether it's manufacturing the parts for windmills, building hybrid car batteries or weatherizing homes to make them more efficient,&quot; said David Foster, executive director of the Blue Green Alliance. &quot;Now we're combining our efforts to spread the message that by transitioning to a clean energy economy, we can revitalize America's manufacturing sector and boost our economy for the long run - and create jobs Made in America.&quot;To find out more go to: <a href="http://www.repoweramerica.org/us/tour">http://www.repoweramerica.org/us/tour</a>

GLOBAL: The Global Unions' Washington Office released in August 2009 a new guide on how to use IFC Performance Standards to help enforce workers' rights in World Bank financed projects.In May 2006 the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank private sector lending arm, introduced social and environmental conditions required for borrowing companies to get loans from the IFC. These requirements include the respect of core labour standards as defined by the International Labour Organization.So far 22 labour cases have been submitted, usually with assistance from the Global Unions Washington Office, which also monitors international financial institutions and represents the interests of unions' to these institutions. According to the Global Unions office, the complaints or communications on labour violations have delivered positive results in the majority of cases: in 15 of the 22 cases company practices were corrected (at least partially), the project was withdrawn or additional monitoring to verify compliance was added. In one case unions' complaints were rejected and, at this time, outcomes were still pending for six cases.In January 2009 the IFC instituted a new accelerated online communications form and the Global Unions' guide, published in August, provides advice on how to use it most effectively. You can access a copy of the guide, in English only on the IMF website at this address: <a href="../files/09082609135966/Guide_to_IFC_Standards.pdf">http://www.imfmetal.org/files/09082609135966/Guide_to_IFC_Standards.pdf</a>

A Brief Guide to Using the IFC Performance Standards

Protecting labour rights in World Bank funded projects

la Federazione metalmeccanica in Montenegro sta stampando una versione in lingua serba del manifesto e dell'opuscolo che saranno distribuiti agli iscritti (forse accompagnati da una lettera). Organizzeranno inoltre una conferenza stampa in questa occasione e presenteranno il materiale stampato ai media. Poichè il 7 ottobre è la giornata mondiale per il lavoro dignitoso, la nostra Confederazione organizzerà un evento anche quel giorno ed i metalmeccanici presenteranno l'azione globale della FISM.

MONTENEGRO

Metallarbetareförbundet i Montenegro trycker en serbisk version av affischen och flygbladet, och kommer att distribuera dem till medlemmarna (kanske med ett följebrev). Man kommer också att anordna en presskonferens vid tillfället, och då presentera det tryckta materialet för medierna. Då den 7 oktober är den globala dagen för anständigt arbete kommer vår huvudorganisation också att organisera något. Metallarbetarna kommer också att presentera IMFs globala aktion.

L'IMF-MC sta lavorando assieme all'MTUC per allestire attività.
