Building Power against Hostile Headwinds

Following the spectacular success of our last trade union conference in Bochum in 2023, attended by over 1,500 workers, trade unionists, and movement allies, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and a number of trade union partners have agreed to hold the sixth Conference on Trade Union Renewal from 2–4 May 2025 under the motto “Building Hegemony against Hostile Headwinds” at the Technical University of Berlin.

At our nationwide conference, we want to analyse current workplace struggles in a practical way with hundreds of activists from trade unions, academia, and labour solidarity movements, and discuss together how we can strengthen trade union counter-power even in difficult times, and thus provide answers to the challenges ahead.

We would like to invite you to take part, support us with your application, and bring many of your colleagues with you!

Please register early for the conference so that we can plan better.

You are welcome to support us in promoting the conference by displaying or distributing flyers and putting up conference posters. Please send an email to Konferenz.GE@rosalux.org with the number of flyers you would like and your mailing address.

We will publish the conference programme and lots of information about the conference here on this page in the coming weeks and months — so stay tuned!
