Abstract

Disasters are events that deeply disrupt the social, economic, and environmental structures of societies. Such events significantly affect the workforce and working life, further emphasizing the importance of trade unions. Trade unions not only advocate for workers' rights but also actively participate in disaster management processes, contributing to the strengthening of social solidarity. This study aims to comprehensively examine the roles undertaken by trade unions at the international level and in Turkey in the face of disasters. Disasters often lead to problems far beyond what the affected region or country can handle with its own resources. This situation necessitates international support for countries to address the damages caused by disasters. Globally, various international organizations stand out in responding to disasters. While some of these organizations focus on social aid and service activities related to disasters, others, despite having different primary objectives, also engage in disaster-related efforts. This study will address the activities of international organizations and trade unions in Turkey regarding disasters.
