Event Description
The power of collective bargaining to regulate labour markets and to ensure a more equal income distribution has long been proven in Europe. It is an essential element of a social market economy. It secures fair wages and prevents the most vulnerable from falling into precariousness and poverty. Today, many European countries need to strengthen their collective bargaining systems in order to make sure that a large majority of workers will (again) enjoy the protection of agreements.
Our campaign comes at a right moment, as there is growing recognition in the new European institutions of the value of collective bargaining. With the campaign and particularly at this first event, we aim to seize this opportunity and to discuss with policymakers and other stakeholders about the benefits of collective bargaining for all.
The launch event will bring together national affiliates, MEPs, representatives from employers’ associations, the European Commission, the European Social and Economic Council and the Finish Presidency to the European Council.
