The annual growth survey issued by the European Commission and submitted to the council is unacceptable to UNI Europa. It is an outright attack on collective bargaining and pay, and an unprecedented intervention in collective bargaining systems. The Merkel-Sarkozy "competitiveness pact" must also be firmly opposed. "EU authorities are asking workers and ordinary citizens to pay for the crisis originating from the failure of the financial sector. We stand fully behind the ETUC firm position. This is the message that all trade unions in Europe should convey to their governments." said Bernadette Ségol, UNI Europa regional secretary and ETUC General Secretary-designate.
