THE TUC has intervened in a row over the appointment of the new secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) urging foreign secretary Dominic Raab not to support the Australian candidate Mathias Cormann, the former Australian finance minister who is being touted to take the job.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said she was concerned that Britain was preparing to vote for Cormann, who has a reputation for defending Australia’s mining interests, and on opposing urgent action on climate change and for his support for the anti-union agenda in Australia.
She said Cormann’s appointment would set back the fight against poverty and the climate crisis. O’Grady also said it was time for a woman to take on the leadership of the organisation.
