Put People at the Core of Rulemaking, TUAC urges after new OECD review - TUAC

The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) @tuac.bsky.social · 11d

TUAC's view on the OECD’s 'Better Regulation Practices across the EU 2025' report: regulation must serve the public interest, with social and environmental protections built into the process, not stripped out in the name of “simplification.”

Trade unions welcome OECD inequality report, but highlight missing link on collective bargaining - TUAC

The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) @tuac.bsky.social · Sep 25

TUAC welcomes OECD's "To Have and Have Not" report on inequality, but warns its approach understates systemic factors.

The artificial division between what's "beyond" and "within" individual control oversimplifies reality and portrays structural problems as personal choices.

OECD's Fiscal Restraint Recommendations Threaten Worker-Centred Recovery - TUAC

The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) @tuac.bsky.social · Sep 23

The fix: a worker-centred recovery – keep cutting rates where underlying inflation nears target, and invest in education, health, social programmes & green infrastructure.

What’s the bigger threat now? It's not inflation, but high interest rates and under-investment.

Today's OECD Interim Economic Outlook forecasts slower growth (2.9% in 2026) and rising joblessness in major economies, yet still pushes fiscal “discipline”.

📊 On #InternationalEqualPayDay, TUAC responds to the OECD's latest gender equality report showing women still earn 11% less than men – a mere 8 percentage point improvement since 1995. TUAC calls for stronger pay-equality frameworks and proper collective bargaining rights.

🚨 TUAC responds to OECD Tax Policy Reforms 2025: Governments raised corporate rates for the second consecutive year, yet expanded exemptions that erode the tax base. This contradictory approach weakens revenue when public investment needs are greatest. #TaxJustice #OECD

Brazil's proposed 2% wealth tax on fortunes exceeding $1 billion could raise 250-300 billion USD annually from just 3,000 individuals. #L20 #FiscalJustice #FiscalSpace

The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) @tuac.bsky.social · Jul 29

The numbers tell the story: corporate tax rates have collapsed from over 40% in the 1980s to just 23% in 2023, whilst the annual SDG financing gap has reached 3-4 trillion USD. Progressive taxation is key to ensuring states have fiscal space for public services.

"While billions struggle to meet basic needs, a small part of the world's population holds an ever-increasing share of global wealth. Today, the top 1% owns more than 45% of global wealth, but they often pay lower tax rates than the bottom 90%." - Veronica Nilsson today at L20 🧵

Trade policy alone isn’t enough.

It must be part of a broader strategy of coordinated fiscal, industrial, labour and social policies to protect workers from market volatility and prevent a race to suppress wages for corporate gain. #L20
