Trade unions and the fight against poverty and social exclusion

This training guide on the theme of poverty and social exclusion in Europe aims to capitalise on the momentum created by 2010 The European Year for Combating Poverty in order to hinge the trade union practices of the ETUC’s member organisations in a lasting and proactive manner around five specific themes: definition of the concept ; experience of this concept at European level and in the various countries ; their role in the fight against poverty and social exclusion and the conditions of implementation; interferences with other strategies developed at national or European level ; the trade union strategies to be developed.
