Syndex: a toolkit for EWCs
Syndex, in cooperation with four European trade union federations (EPSU, IndustriAll, Effat, ETF), has developed a negotiating toolkit to support workers’ representatives - on Special Negotiating Bodies, in EWCs and within trade unions - achieve better EWC agreements with management.
This toolkit is the outcome of a two-year Commission-funded project for training EWC members and trade union officers called “Working together for European recovery: workers’ involvement in companies’ future as a cornerstone.” It has been managed by Syndex in partnership with the ETF, EPSU, IndustriAll Europe and UNI Europa. Additionally, for more information on EWCs and multinational companies, the European Trade Union Federations have adopted guidelines and policy papers that are available on their respective websites.
