ETUC Press release – EPSCO: The EU urgently needs a social ambition commensurate with its citizen’s expectations
On the eve of the meeting of the European Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council (EPSCO), the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) has a clear message for the ministers: in an economic and social context where whole swathes of Europeans’ population are being hit by the disastrous effects of austerity policies, the belief that the European Union will continue to exist without having a strong social ambition at the service of its citizens and workers is an illusion.
