Public Services International
PSI is a global union federation made up of more than 650 trade unions. We represent more than 20 million workers who deliver public services in 160 countries around the world.
PSI and its affiliates are committed to building quality public services that meet the needs of workers and communities. Priorities include global campaigns for water, energy and health services. PSI promotes gender equality, worker rights, trade union capacity building, equity and diversity. PSI is also active in trade and development debates.
PSI is an officially recognised non-government organisation - NGO - for the public sector within the International Labour Organisation and has accreditation with UNESCO, ECOSOC and UNCTAD. PSI also works in association with the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).
PSI is governed by its five-yearly congress, which is made up of delegates from all PSI affiliates. Congress adopts policy documents, resolutions, statements and the programme of action, which form the basis of PSI policy over the next five-year period. In addition, Congress elects the President, the General Secretary, the Executive Board and the Members' Auditors.
The Executive Board represents the four geographical regions: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and the Interamericas.
