ETUC Resolution on Fixing the Social Foundation – ETUC Statement on the need for a Social Protocol
Adopted at the Executive Committee Meeting of 25-26 October 2017
Introduction
The ETUC TU-I index below shows the involvement of trade unions at the milestones of the semester cycle at national level. It is still largely unsatisfactory. Despite the commitment of the Juncker Commission to a new start for social dialogue in recent years, governments have too often largely disregarded the involvement of trade unions in the design and implementation of their reform plans.
