ETUC resolution on avenues of work for the ETUC in migration and asylum fields (2019-2023)
Adopted at the Executive Committee Meeting of 17-18 December 2019
Defining the scope of the resolution
Today the UK leaves the EU. We send this message of support, solidarity and unity among working people. For trade unions there are no borders.
We will continue our joint work to make working peoples voices heard, to insist on a level playing field to protect jobs and rights for workers in the UK and the EU.
Working together during 2020 we will demand a future agreement that delivers for workers, their families and communities.
Statement to the EU-Ukraine Association Council, 28 January 2020
On the occasion of the EU-Ukraine Association Council that meets to assess the progress Ukraine has achieved in implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, the European and Ukrainian trade unions condemn the recent violations of this Agreement by the government of Ukraine, which introduced a number of amendments to the labour laws without any consultations with social partners as required by national and international legislation.
