Information & consultation, EWCs

Yesterday, the EPSU Executive Committee received a report about the negotiations between the Special Negotiating Body and the French multinational company ORPEA.

In March 2020, the European Trade Union Federations [ETUFs] published joint guidelines for EWC, SNB and SE Works Council members and coordinators on how these bodies should operate during and deal with the COVID-19 crisis.

The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unprecedented, but must not jeopardise jobs and incomes.

More is needed to support and enforce the rights of European Works Councils on Information and Consultation Rights, was one of the messages of a delegation of trade union leaders that met with EU Commissioner for Social affairs and Employment.
