Every year the ETUC invites hundreds of European Works Council (EWC) members from all over Europe to Brussels. The Conference is a key moment of exchange - between trade unionists, workers' representatives and politicians.
This year’s Conference will take place in the European Parliament (8 Sep. 13:00 -17:00, room JAN 4Q2) and in the auditorium of our trade union house in Brussels (9 Sep. 9:00 -12:30). The first day of the event is co-hosted by the S&D Group.
Rarely before has the European agenda been so packed with matters of greatest interest to EWCs.
During the first day we will discuss the tabled draft legislative report of the European Parliament on the revision of the EWC Directive. There will be the opportunity for you to share your experience, bring in your views and demands to the MEPs from different democratic parties joining us. In a similar format, we will then discuss the new draft directive of the European Commission on the Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive.
On the second day we will offer workshops and discuss recent ETUC initiatives on how to strengthen EWC access to justice and EWC coordination, on the basis of EWC input on good practice.
The ETUC EWC conference will provide the unique opportunity for European Works Council members from all over Europe to exchange with politicians and among each other on how to be the voice of workers and a game changer in delivering concretely on Democracy at Work.
