ETUC Press Statement Laval and Viking Cases

Welcoming the opinion of the Advocates General of the European Court of Justice in the Laval and Viking cases, ETUC General Secretary, John Monks said:

 

"This is good news for unions and for Europe. Union rights to take action to compel a company from another member state to observe collective agreements have been upheld. The Advocates General have also upheld trade union action to dissuade a company from relocating to another country. We will study the details carefully but these are important landmark and positive opinions for all European trade unions and for Europe".
