    EU's proposal on application of workers' rights to free movement: Positive signal from the Commission both expected and needed

    Brussels, 02/05/2013 “This proposal by the Commission was both expected and needed, all the more given the increase in serious problems linked to discrimination and unequal treatment in Europe notably as a result of the application of transitional measures for the new Member States as well as and the increasing xenophobia in more and more Member States” stated Luca Visentini, ETUC Confederal Secretary.

  • May 1st: Keep up the momentum to bring a strong social dimension to the EU

    May 1st: Keep up the momentum to bring a strong social dimension to the EU

    Brussels, 30/04/2013 In many European countries, May 1st will be a day for mobilising against austerity and in favour of employment and social progress. The major problem continues to be mass unemployment which is growing and is accompanied by an increase in precariousness and a widening of the inequality gap. The fight against unemployment must be a priority of the European Union. The trade unions will seize the opportunity of May 1st to denounce the failure of macro-economic policies, which are moreover threatening the European project and democracy.

  • 28 April 2013 - World Day for Safety and Health at Work: The ETUC demands the adoption of an ambitious European strategy

    28 April 2013 - World Day for Safety and Health at Work: The ETUC demands the adoption of an ambitious European strategy

    Brussels, 22/04/2013 The figures from the International Labour Organization are dramatic. Every day, 6,300 workers around the world die from the consequences of poor working conditions. In 5,500 of those cases, the victims suffer from diseases, and in particular cancers, caused by exposure to chemicals. Europe is far from exempt from this tragedy. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work estimates that there are some 160,000 deaths per year.

  • Transparency of social and environmental information: the ETUC considers that the Commission is taking the first step in the right direction

    Transparency of social and environmental information: the ETUC considers that the Commission is taking the first step in the right direction

    Brussels, 18/04/2013 More than ten years after the Commission launched an initiative on ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’, (CSR), it is a fact that less than 10 per cent of Europe’s biggest businesses regularly publish environmental and social information in addition to their financial balance sheets. It is for this reason that, on 16 April, the Commission amended the accounting directives in order to oblige big companies to include a ‘non-financial’ part in their annual report.
