Brazil and the United States form an unprecedented alliance to promote decent work

Brazilian official circles reported that such an association would stimulate good jobs, protect workers who work on digital platforms, and enhance knowledge of their rights. “It is the first time in more than 500 years of Brazil’s history that it has sat down with the President of the American Republic, as equals, to discuss a chronic problem, which is the question of the instability of the world of work. » Lola explained.

Sources confirm that through the alliance, the former labor leader will join forces with Biden to defend the agenda of justice and sustainability in the global economy, and ensure that economic growth leaves no one behind.

According to Lula, the project will provide the community, especially young people, with the opportunity to obtain a job that will allow them to live in dignity.

Both countries will work closely with union partners in Brazil, the United States, and the International Labor Organization.

They intend to involve other countries and global partners in the idea and thus promote development that is inclusive, sustainable and widely shared by all workers.

Joint activities with partners aim, among other things, to expand public knowledge about labor rights and provide opportunities for workers to train to defend their rights.

Strengthening the central role of workers and ensuring that the transition to clean energy sources provides good job opportunities for all.

Likewise, in close collaboration with global partners, develop an agenda focused on increasing the relevance of staff in multilateral institutions such as the G20, COP28, and COP30.

As well as supporting and coordinating technical cooperation programs related to work.

The Brazilian government reiterates that the initiative is based on years of cooperation with the United States to promote racial equality, justice, environmental protection, and confront the climate crisis.

Likewise, democracy and workers’ rights should be strengthened through bilateral labor dialogues.

Brazil thus aims to further strengthen and expand bilateral cooperation.

Lula remains in New York, where he participated in the seventy-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly. After a separate meeting on Wednesday with Biden and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, he will return to the South American giant.
