On the occasion of tomorrow's Gothenburg Social Summit, the Presidium of CESI adopted messages on key priorities that CESI considers vital for a more social Europe: A joint, dedicated implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights by governments, authorities, social partners, trade unions and the organised civil society; more social investments to finance the Pillar especially in children, education, health, and training; a placement of social rights at equal footing with the economic freedoms in Europe; and the regularisation of new forms of work and atypical employment relationships by making them subject to core labour law and social security.
Against the background of a rejection by the hosts of CESI’s request for a place at the high-level Gothenburg Social Summit for Fair Jobs and Growth, the messages also call for a consistent involvement of all trade unions major EU political discussions and argue that there should be no second-class trade unions in Europe. In a consistent way, all workers should be given the opportunity to participate in major political discussions that concern workers of all sectors.
The full messages are available here.
