Enhancing gender balance in company boardrooms ETUC Resolution Adopted at the Executive Committee Meeting of 23 September 2020 Setting the scene

Ahead of the Special Council meeting of 1 October 2020, the ETUC strongly encourages EU leaders to propose an EU sustainable industrial strategy that delivers for the people and the planet. What is the way out of the Covid-19 crisis?

Safety and health at work – and prevention of MSDs - more important than ever in times of Covid-19 The health and safety of workers and the protection of jobs and rights have been the priority of the European trade union movement throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ETUC takes action in a number of ways: through political pressure and negotiations with EU institutions, social dialogue, and large-scale demonstrations.

Since the start of the crisis, the European Union has demonstrated its growing power over countries that use the single currency.

Climate change, energy supply, worker mobility and migration are among the issues that cannot be tackled by individual nations.
