(15 June 2016) EPSU will organise a series of upcoming actions against the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) – the controversial free trade deal that has been negotiated between the European Union and Canada. We have put together a package of campaign materials to coordinate our actions, to be shared with members, colleagues and wider networks.
The actions will take place on 23 June (Public Service Day 2016) and in a week of coordinated online action, 27 June – 1 July, before the European Commission is expected to agree its final CETA proposal on 5 July.
Public anger and resistance against CETA and other dangerous trade deals just keeps getting stronger. But in order to truly turn the tide on CETA we must persuade national governments and parliaments to reject it, too. Demonstrating the strength of trade union feeling against the agreement, through coordinated action, will be key to achieving this. Together we can fight to stop this dangerous deal – Say no to CETA!
