We are saddened to share the news that dear friend and comrade, Dan Gallin, passed away on 31 May at the age of 94. Dan spent many decades at the forefront of the struggle of the international trade union movement, including in support of the organisation, rights and recognition of workers in the informal economy. He spent many years as General Secretary of the IUF, and in 1997 founded the Global Labour Institute in Geneva. His commitment to the fight for democratic socialism, feminism, solidarity across borders, and political education will continue to guide the work of the GLI.

Peter Rossman, former Director of Campaigns and Communications for the IUF has written an obituary for Dan Gallin in the latest edition of the Global Labour Column. Click here to read the column.
