ETUC Executive Committee meets on 7- 8 December

Brussels, 07/12/2006

The Committee will start to draw up the trade union position for the EU Spring Council 2007, and continue preparations for the ETUC Congress in Seville in May next year. And it will assess progress in the ETUC's petition campaign in support of public services across Europe.

General Secretary John Monks will make a statement on how trade unions can respond to the new 'casino' financial capitalism that is undermining jobs and working conditions worldwide.

The Committee will debate resolutions on the European coordination of collective bargaining in 2007 and on the ETUC contribution to the EU's Growth and Jobs Strategy.
