The German federal government assumed the presidency of the G7 for 2022 under the guiding principle of progress for a just world. In the Labor 7 Dialogue, one of seven civil society dialogue forums of the G7, the trade union umbrella organizations of the G7 states accompany and influence the political process in the interests of the employees and a democratic civil society. After a meeting of the trade union leaders of the G7 countries (Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Canada and USA) on May 11th with Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the Federal Chancellery, the conference took place on May 12th and 13th in the FES of the L7 trade union dialogue. As a platform for trade union dialogue at management level, the main goal was to discuss common positions on upcoming global challenges such as fair climate change, digitization and crisis management among themselves and with decision-makers and the demands of the trade unions towards the G7 summit give emphasis.
