ETUC/HBS/EIFs conference for European Works Councils



"On the offensive: for stronger European Works Councils”

Europe must strengthen workers rights now!

9th and 10th June 2008 in Brussels

The EWC Directive of 1994 is an important foundation for a social Europe. But many EWCs remain well below their potential, however.

In numerous cases, their participation rights are dramatically inadequate! The revision of the EWC Directive has been overdue since 1999.

The intention of this conference is to discuss with members of EWCs, representatives from trade unions, employers and

politicians, as well as with journalists, practical experiences which prove the need to revise the EWC Directive.
