Ces - Etuc

The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) speaks with a single voice on behalf of European workers and have a stronger say in EU decision-making. The ETUC was set up in 1973 and now comprises 92 national trade union confederations in 41 countries, plus 10 European trade union federations. We aim to ensure that the EU is not just a single market for goods and services, but is also a Social Europe, where improving the wellbeing of workers and their families is an equally important priority. The European social model – until the onset of the crisis – helped Europe to become a prosperous, competitive region with high living standards. More information:
