| Summary: | "Extending European Works Councils to the Central and Eastern European countries is an important element in the strategy developed by UNI-Europa Graphical and its Multinationals’ Committee. Indeed, for a long time, the richest part of Europe has favoured political decisions over and above economic and social integration. The major problem is thus the enlargement to the CEECs and, above all, to know
what form of solidarity the European Union will develop towards these countries. As far as we are concerned, one of the aims of extending EWCs to Central and Eastern Europe is to make social and economic cohesion prevail throughout Europe. Europe, like the rest of the world, needs regulation because major multinational groups are continually restructuring. It is thus essential that employees in these groups, including in the CEECs, can have their say in the management of the company, in restructuring plans and plans for setting up new units. For trade unions from Central and Eastern Europe, EWCs must be a tool for working towards such social regulation." |
