President Biden of the United States and Pope Francis have both urged for action in favour of a COVID-19 recovery plan that protects jobs, enhances labour rights, and aids the most vulnerable.
Pope Francis and President Biden spoke at the International Labour Organization’s World of Work Summit to reaffirm their commitment to labour rights and to contribute their voices to a global appeal for a human-centered recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s Summit, which take place on the 17th and 18th of June, will focus on the response to COVID-19’s catastrophic human impact and the actions needed to create a better future of work.
