The PSI Executive Board EB-167 kicked off this morning in Geneva at the ILO, with board members joining both in person and online from every corner of our global union.

The day began with opening items and moved directly into the General Secretary's report, covering staff updates, EPSU cooperation, and key organizational changes shaping PSI's work.

Regional reports from Vice-Presidents followed, alongside updates from the World Women's Committee (WOC), Young Workers, and LGBT+ committees - ensuring voices from all regions and constituencies are heard on what's working and what fights still lie ahead.

The agenda then shifted to membership matters, including fees collection, affiliations, and how PSI can best support members across all regions.

This afternoon's session focused on finance - reviewing the 2026 budget, year-end forecast, and PSI's Plan for a Sustainable Future.

Day Two: Tackling the Big Issues

Tomorrow, 3 December, EB-167 will dive into critical policy areas: Occupational Safety and Health, attacks on multilateralism and their impact on the UN, ILO, WHO, and workers' right to strike, plus PSI's Public Service Fightback campaign.

Before closing, the board will set important dates for 2026 meetings, including SC-27 in June and EB-168 next December.

WOC Meeting: Sisters Leading the Way

Yesterday, the PSI World Women's Committee met in Geneva, kicking off with welcome remarks from General Secretary Daniel Bertossa and Chair Gloria Mills.

Highlights included a powerful panel on the Inter-American Court ruling recognizing care as a human right, practical sessions on implementing C190 in workplaces, and progress reviews on the 2023-2028 Programme of Action.

The WOC also elected a new Chair, with the nomination coming from the Asia-Pacific region.
