2025 Labour 7 continues to raise concerns about the G7 labour and employment agenda

December 17, 2025 at 9:24 am  Labour

Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour Congress, winds down her tenure as the Labour 7 (L7) Chair under the Canadian G7 presidency. In 2025, the CLC and L7 members advocated for a strong labour track and a Labour and Employment Ministerial Meeting (LEMM) under the Canadian G7 presidency. We succeeded in participating at the G7 Employment Working Group (EWG) and Ministerial meetings by providing interventions in both virtual and in-person sessions that focused on workforce resilience, labour force participation, and artificial intelligence.

Bea Bruske, together with Veronica Nilsson, General Secretary of the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD, intervened in the virtual Labour and Employment Ministerial Meeting, where both called for greater commitments from the G7 to a labour and employment agenda, including the adoption of concrete and measurable targets.

“G7 Labour and Employment Ministers must redouble their commitment and efforts to ensure respect for labour rights and promote decent work for everyone by following up on previous G7 commitments, specifically through robust engagement in the EWG and high-level political stewardship in the context of the LEMM,” said President Bruske to the G7 labour ministers at the virtual LEMM on December 3.

France will assume the G7 presidency in 2026, and the CLC will continue to work with L7 counterparts in calling for the centrality of labour issues to G7 priorities.
