In response to the deepening global food
crisis, the International Trade Union Confederation has called
on governments and world institutions to take far-reaching
measures to guarantee food security for all. "This is an
opportunity to completely revamp the failed policies which have
led to this crisis, and it is vital that governments and the
global institutions do more than just fiddle at the edges of a
system which simply isn't delivering for the world's people",
said ITUC General Secretary Guy Ryder.
