Quim Boix, General Secretary of the TUI of Pensioners of the World Federation of Trade Unions, endorses the Global Campaign and invites all unions of the organization, members, and friends to begin their national signature collection in solidarity with Cuba.

“As General Secretary of the International Union of Pensioners of the WFTU, I express OUR FULL support for the massive signature collection promoted by the International Workers Institute.

We affirm that Cuba is not alone, and we continue to denounce all imperialist wars.

A campaign has just been launched to demonstrate global support for Cuba right now, as was committed during the International Conference of Solidarity in Cuba on May 2, 2026, co-organized by the CTC Cuba, the International Workers’ Institute, and the World Federation of Trade Unions Regional Office. With the participation of numerous trade unions and activists, they launched this campaign to collect millions of signatures in solidarity with Cuba: “I Sign for Cuba” or "Firmo por Cuba".

TUI Pensioners, represented by Panagiotis Palmos of the Greek Federation of Pensioners OSIKA, accompanied by Alexandra Liberi, member of the TUI Pensioners Communications Team, participated in the CTC-IWI-WFTU Regional Office Solidarity Conference with the heroic people of Cuba and the glorious May Day Celebration.

Medical supplies where delivered as part of the mission to the CTC of Cuba.

Amid deafening silence from the French radio and television media, on Thursday 22 January the National Assembly is set to examine a bill supported by the ‘Republican’ Right, supported by Macronist MPs and Le Pen's National Rally, aimed at extending work on 1 May, calling into question the only public holiday, an international symbol of social struggles for dignity and equality for workers. 

Beyond its contempt for employees, this bill paves the way for further attacks on the right to leave by proposing wage compensation rather than wage increases.
