#Timefor8: the clock is ticking for a New Social Contract      Issue 1 / 2023 -  Sign Up 

Dear {{contact.firstname}},

In exactly six weeks’ time, on 10 July, the ITUC will join global development actors at the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) to review the world’s progress towards SDG 6. 

Workers are fully committed to achieving Goal 6.  Like José Luis Lingeri, SGBASTOS/CGT Argentina explains:

“It is the workers with militancy and persistence who allow us (…) to guarantee accessibility, sustainability and sanitation of water for all.”

To be able to contribute to SDG 6, workers are calling for a gender-transformative, SDG 8-led New Social Contract with six key workers’ demands: (1) decent, climate-friendly jobs with just transition; (2) rights for all workers; (3) minimum living wages; (4) universal social protection for all; (5) equality in income, gender and race; and (6) inclusion within and among countries, based on social dialogue and renewed multilateralism.

Workers’ priorities on Goal 6

• Public investments in sustainable water and sanitation management.
• New, decent, green jobs and skills in these sectors.
• Gender-responsive just transition measures.
