Time has come for investment in growth and jobs says European and Spanish trade unions to Prime Minister Rajoy

Today Bernadette Ségol, General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the leaders of Spanish trade unions demand investment in growth and jobs in a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy in Madrid.

“The crisis is not over. Austerity does not work. Europe needs a plan for investments in growth and jobs, such as the ETUC New Path for Europe. We propose an investment target of 2% of EU GDP annually over ten years. Such investments would help build a strong industrial base, good public services and innovative research and educational facilities, with 11 million quality new jobs across Europe” said Bernadette Ségol.
