IndustriAll European Trade Union position on the tripartite exchange of views on wage developments

The European Commission recently published a discussion note for the meeting of the EMCO (Employment Committee of the European Union). This discussion note sets out how wage developments in Europe can be monitored but also influenced in a tripartite body.
Position of IndustriAll: "IndustriAll European Trade Union is not opposed to the gathering of information on wages at the European level as such. We also welcome the fact that the Commission recognizes “the essential role of the social partners at its level, taking into consideration the diversity of national systems”. We nevertheless are very worried by this discussion note because it contains a number of issues which are clearly, and totally, unacceptable to trade unions."
