On January 30th, the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of CESI’s horizontal Commissions and sectoral Trade Councils – CESI’s specialised internal forums of debate for its member organisations – met in Brussels to discuss their priorities for 2020.
Like every year in January, the meeting of the ‘Programme Commission’ kicked off the new year’s activities of CESI’s Trade Councils and Commissions.
The work priorities were set for all of CESI’s Commissions and Trade Councils against the background of the general agenda of the European institutions and the CESI General Secretariat. The further implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and the broader ‘Future of work’ agenda will be fundamental priorities for all sectors.
See here for further information on the topics which CESI’s Commissions and Trade Councils will focus on in 2020.
