The 26th of July remains a historic milestone in the struggle of the peoples against exploitation and imperialist domination

The AFL-CIO 30th Convention met in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from June 6th to 10th. The proceedings were predictable, scripted, uneventful, and barely noticed by most union members. The working class more broadly were oblivious to this meeting of the top leaders of the nation’s only labor center – representing nearly 70% of the organized workforce in the US.

Below we share the address of c. Esteban Muñoz, IWI representative at the joint IWI-WFTU event held within the framework of the 114th ILC on June 9 in Geneva, Switzerland

Three years of theory and praxis helping and supporting trade union organizations, trade unionists, and young workers.

The IWI treats theory as a guide to action, grounded in the concrete conditions faced by workers and working class across the world.

It is our purpose to provide, both in practice and in theory, the elements for the emancipation of the working class, so that capitalism may be overcome and end up in the dustbin of history.

I firmly believe that IWI’s work strengthens class consciousness, international solidarity, and the collective capacity of workers to struggle and prevail.

Our collective commitment remains to transform, not to adapt!

In a world where a tiny minority accumulates immense wealth and imperialist aggression tramples on international law, peoples and workers, the IWI is not a neutral think tank, but a school for militants.

Imperialists use several weapons to maintain these scourges, notably the ideology of domination. It is, among other things, to counter this that the International Workers Institute was created.
