PSI joins ILO Global Coalition for Social Justice
PSI General Secretary, Daniel Bertossa, said:
"Public service workers deliver social justice around the world every single day. The teachers that educate our children, the nurses and care workers that keep us healthy and the waste workers that make our communities safe. The fight for social justice is a fight for public services. And we’re glad to have the ILO in this fight."
By joining forces with like-minded organizations and stakeholders, PSI aims to amplify its advocacy efforts and advance the cause of social justice globally through the provision of quality public services.
PSI firmly believes that by making quality public service services available to everyone - irrespective of their background or socio-economic status - governments can narrow the gap between the privileged and the underprivileged.
