Global Labor Leadership Initiative (GLLI) 2025: Global labor leaders unite for stronger, more democratic unions!

Earlier this year, 19 union leaders from across Africa, Asia, and Europe gathered in South Africa through the ILR School and The Solidarity Center’s Global Labor Leadership Initiative (GLLI).

The GLLI was developed in 2022 through a partnership between the ILR School’s Labor Leadership Initiative and The Solidarity Center, and since its launch, it has fostered a robust, global network of labor leaders dedicated to advancing workers' rights around the world.

Over the past year, these leaders have come together to exchange strategies, strengthen cross-border solidarity, and grow their leadership capacity to defend labor rights and deepen democracy worldwide.
