UNI Global Union expressed shock and horror after a private security guard was murdered at his place of work last week. On Friday afternoon in New York at the 201 Varick Street federal building, a New Jersey man fatally opened fire on private security guard Idrissa Camara. Camara worked as a private protective officer for FJC security Services and was a member of UNI affiliate SEIU. He had volunteered to stay late, even though he was supposed leave work at 4 pm, over an hour before the shooting.

70 years after atomic bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the Nagasaki Hiroshima Peace Messengers delivered their message to UNI head office in Nyon that young people must continue to campaign for a world free of nuclear weapons.
