Following the election of Guy Ryder as International Labor Organisation (ILO) Director General, ETUC General Secretary Bernadette Ségol said: “At a time when fundamental rights at work are under attack in many European countries we look forward to the ILO redoubling its efforts to ensure that the crisis is not used as an excuse to disregard internationally agreed standards. Guy Ryder has always been a convinced proponent of social dialogue and he is clearly the right person to lead on the international stage for fairness and decent work for all”.
