The L20 represents workers’ interests at G20 level. It brings together trade union representatives from G20 countries and International Trade Union Federations and is coordinated by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC-CSC) of the OECD.
Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, the L20 has intervened in the G20 intergovernmental processes to ensure an inclusive and constructive dialogue on “Jobs and Growth”, as one of the official consultation groups, alongside the business group (Business 20), civil society (Civil 20) and youth (Youth 20).
The L20 conveys key messages from the international trade union movement at the consultations of the Employment Working Group, at the meetings of the Sherpas, the ministers of labor and finance, and at the G20 summits. The L20 members formulate their key messages through an extensive consultation process and confirm their political objectives during the L20 Summit, on the occasion of each G20 presidency.
