What’s so important about a t-shirt you may ask!

Its really about the message that is written on it. UNI Commerce and their delegates took the opportunity to show off their campaigns t-shirt slogans. MANDATE of Ireland as the host union managed to get most of the delegates wearing their t-shirts that had two messages “ABUSE IS NOT PART OF THE JOB” and “Organise to WIN”.

Wearing the t-shirts also started the flow of conversation going about the messages and campaigns each union has done. Although some t-shirts sizes were too big, the innovative women managed to make it fashionable with a belt here or a knot there!

Some had smart campaigns slogans as such “respect workers” and “workers are not tools” while others although in foreign language has the same message calling for respect for workers world wide. Who we also like to point out are consumers and customers!

... well not very union has the same type of t-shirts ... JSD Japan took the price for creativeness when their team, seated together were wearing Guinness T-shirts. During the UNI Commerce steering committee meeting, their President heard from our Irish friends that the country is facing high unemployment and an economy that needs a booster to revive it. Our JSD friends decided to help the economy a bit by purchasing the locally made t-shirts. Guinness stout originated from Dublin and is coincidently also celebrating their anniversary – 250 year anniversary! Yes, this is real international solidarity in action!!
