Description

The Education department of ETUI-REHS and the European Metalworkers’ Federation organised a seminar in Istanbul in January 2008. The activity brought together trade union representatives from Germany, France, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The aim of the seminar was: to examine the relevance of core labour standards, trade union rights and the violation thereof in MNCs or their subcontrators in Europe; to develop support for local trade union bodies in MNCs; and to exchange experiences about how European Works Councils can contribute to reinforcing trade union and representation rights in MNCs and their subcontractors. The materials produced for the course are available for downloading below.
