Action Day
The possibility of organising an action day against precarious employment in 2009 is an essential element of the EMF Work Programme adopted by the EMF Congress in 2007.
The major event planned for 2009 is the 6th EMF Collective Bargaining Conference “Jobs, Rights and Collective Bargaining”, which takes place in Madrid on 17-18 November.
The conference will chiefly focus on:
- The effects of the current crisis on collective bargaining.
- Current tendencies in collective bargaining: the EMF wage coordination rule, future collective bargaining perspectives, the undercutting of labour costs and the working time debate
- EMF 2nd Common Demand : Precarious employment
The conference will be followed by a press conference to launch the EMF campaign in respect of its second common European demand.
For more secure employment, against precarious work
The EMF Collective Bargaining Policy Conference 2009 launched the 2nd Common Demand:
“For more secure employment, against precarious work”,
which will be included in the collective bargaining demands of all its 75 affiliated trade unions and in future collective bargaining rounds throughout Europe over the next four years.
