Time to empower our young workers!

(1 February 2016) Last week in Madrid we held the first regional seminar for a joint project between the European Trade Union Federations (European Public Service Unions (EPSU), IndustriALL, UNI Europa, EFBWW, ETF and EFFAT), entitled “Empowering the integration of younger workers in the European Metal, Manufacturing, Transport, Food, Services, Construction and Wood Industries.”

The seminar opened with some inspiring words from Vincente Sanchez Jimenez, General Secretary of CCOO de Construcción y Servicios, featured presentations from several EPSU affiliates and finished with a passionate panel discussion with leading members of FSC-CCOO, CCOO and SGH. All in all it was a great start to what promises to be an interactive and productive series of seminars in which trade unionists can share experiences and best practices in their youth work.

The next regional seminar will take place in Ostend, Belgium 15-17 February. Stay tuned for updates!
