Dear Colleagues,
The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) extends our deepest condolences to you and all those affected by the tragic incident that occurred during your rally in Munich today. We stand in unwavering solidarity with ver.di and the public sector workers who were advocating for their rightful demands for better wages and working conditions.
This act of violence is not only an attack on the individuals present but also on the fundamental principles of workers' rights and peaceful protest. Our thoughts go out to all those affected as well as to the first responders and helpers on site.
Please know that the ETUC stands with you during this difficult time. We are committed to supporting ver.di in any way possible and will continue to advocate for the rights and safety of all workers across Europe.
In solidarity,
Esther Lynch
General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation
