ETUC takes its message to the Progressive Convention
In the framework of its campaign against austerity, the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) has decided to promote a closer dialogue with main European political parties. In this context, the ETUC will play a part in the Progressive Convention organised by the European Socialists Party, being held on 25 and 26 November in Brussels. Representatives of the European trade union movement will express their concerns in the face of the economic and social crisis that is putting the squeeze on European workers and will propose solutions.
Numerous key issues, from the fair redistribution of wealth to the definition of a new economic model, employment and workers’ rights as well as reform of the financial system, will be addressed at different round tables. On the second day of the event, ETUC General Secretary Bernadette Ségol will participate in the plenary session on a new progressive Europe.
