Ecuador’s election wasn’t free — and its people will pay the price under President Noboa

CHANGE is coming. Covid-19 has seen to that. It’s coming to every aspect of our economy and working lives and left unchecked, in the hands of hard right, free-market ideologues it will bring unemployment, poverty, ill-health and misery at levels not seen since the 1920s.
Our immediate challenge, our duty as trade unionists, is to build a confident, powerful movement capable of shaping that change and ensuring working people and our communities are at its heart, not its victims for a generation or more to come.
If we’re to build back better, manufacturing must be central to our nations’ recovery and rebuild strategies, providing jobs and apprenticeships, making the products we need to green our economy and exporting the high-value goods we need to raise the capital to support our public services.
