Bureau of the European Works Council Suez, 8 September 2005
Suez announced the take-over of Belgian electricity company Electrabel in August. The implications of this merger were at the focus of discussion and especially the prospect of the creation of a European Company for Suez. This will be discussed further at the plenary meeting of the EWC (19 October). Other issues considered:
- Equality and Diversity;
- Training;
- Suez Energy Services (companies such as Fabricom, GTI, were job losses are foreseen);
- Health and Safety - the number of workers killed in work-related accidents has increased compared to last year. Many of these accidents concerned workers involved in sub-contracting;
- Proposals of management to centralise different services (back-office) in regional and national service centres having grave employment consequences and possibly with the perspective to out-source;
- Future of the energy commission (also called EWC of Tractebel) in relation to Suez Energy Services.
