Building a social Europe. The trade union case for EU reform

The Centre for a Social Europe has launched a new pamphlet entitled Building a social Europe: The trade union case for EU reform. The pamphlet sets out visions of a new direction for the European Union in what Jack Straw called a 'period of reflection' following the French and Dutch 'no' votes on the EU Constitution. The pamphlet contains contributions from Dave Prentis, General Secretary of UNISON, Billy Hayes, General Secretary of the CWU, Bob Crow, General Secretary of the RMT, and Stefan Carlen, the Chief Economist of Swedish trade union Handels. It also contains a foreword by the CSE's Director, Matthew McGregor, and an introduction by Ian Davidson MP, Chair of the CSE.
