Time for Public Services!

The European Public Services Union (EPSU) held its 11th Congress at the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest, Romania, from 18 to 20 June 2024. This pivotal event brought together 500 trade unionists from 45 countries who stand up for public services and the rights of public service workers. EPSU celebrated in 2023 its 45 years of existence.

The slogan of congress was Time for Public Services now! Public services are crucial to delivering on the key priorities for most Europeans (health, care, education...), and it’s time for Europe to recognise the role that public service workers play in this. The time for public services is now!

The five themes of the congress debates were:

• Securing peace, democracy, equality, rights and freedoms
• Reclaiming and strengthening public services
• Fighting for a green, digital and socially just transition
• Quality jobs make for quality services
• Building and strengthening public service trade unions.
