Brussels, 30/11/2009
All the ETUC member unions will be meeting in its Executive Committee to discuss questions of topical interest to European trade unionism.
The European trade unions will be mapping out a forthcoming campaign to put forward some proposals to counter the social and economic crisis which is causing so many problems, in particular in terms of employment. This campaign will be the opportunity to frame some messages aimed at the recently renewed European institutions, under the Lisbon Treaty which is very shortly to come into force.
Other subjects on the agenda for the ETUC Executive Committee include the Lisbon Treaty, the social dialogue, collective bargaining, and precariousness under the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.
