    European Trade Union Action Day : 27 countries in action for employment and social justice

    Brussels, 23/02/2012 The effects of the financial, economic and social crisis have reached unbearable levels in several countries.

The crisis serves as a ready-made pretext to attack the European social model, justify cuts in wages and public services, weaken social protection, make the labour market hyperflexible, and attack trade union rights.
