Memandang ke depan, perjuangan kita Kita akan terus menjalankan usaha untuk membantu pekerja dan pencari kerja kita untuk untuk mengatasi kemelesetan jauh dari selesai. mempelajari kemahiran baru dan mempertingkat Kemelesetan global masih belum sampai ke titik kemahiran mereka. Setiap pekerja mesti menjadi seluruh dunia mengamalkan pemberhentian kerja paling rendah sebelum pemulihan bermula. Juga, lebih produktif agar dia dapat mengekalkan sebagai jalan pertama, rakan-rakan tiga pihak pemulihan, jika ia berlaku, tidak dijangka kukuh.
