Trade unions plan pan-EU action against fiscal compact

In the face of a worsening economic and social situation and the ever-tougher austerity measures being imposed by Europe’s leaders as the only solution, the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) called in January 2012 for a European day of action on 29 February 2012, the eve of a European Council summit. Trade unions will mobilise across Europe to have jobs and social justice placed at the heart of political priorities.
