- ETUC
-
As the European Union has gradually increased its influence in the areas that most affect workers, Europe's trade unions in response came together to form the ETUC.
Since 2008, Europe’s economic and financial crisis and the introduction of austerity policies have reinforced the need for a body to defend workers’ interests at EU level.
The ETUC aims 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.
