Díaz se acerca a la votación de su candidatura a la OIT con los sindicatos divididos y las patronales en contra
La elección de la española se complica mucho, pero aún tiene opciones de ganar por el respaldo de varios gobiernos
The countdown is on for the vote that will determine who leads the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN agency dedicated to the global workforce, which Yolanda Díaz hopes to chair. Recent events have been stirring the pot for this crucial election: on Friday, the International Organization of Employers (IOE) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) released statements backing the incumbent director general, Gilbert F. Houngbo, against Díaz.
This stance stands in contrast to the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), where both CC OO and UGT are members, who sent a letter to the ITUC protesting their endorsement. Sources close to the positions' progression say the latest happenings complicate Díaz's odds, yet she still possesses a chance to win as national governments' support outweighs Houngbo's. The vote will be cast by representatives of 28 countries, 14 unions and 14 employers.
