A detailed review of worker rights around the world found that worker rights are in “freefall” across every continent. The 2025 Global Rights Index released by the International Trade Union Confederation, found that workers’ rights and democracy around the world are often under attack by “far-right politicians and their unelected billionaire backers.” Whether it’s Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the US or Javier Milei and Eduardo Eurnekian in Argentina, “we see the same playbook of unfairness and authoritarianism in action around the world.”
In the US, the index found “the Donald Trump administration has taken a wrecking ball to the collective labor rights of workers and brought anti-union billionaires into the heart of policymaking.”
