ETF stands in solidarity with CGIL following fascist attack on headquarters

This weekend, right-wing extremists and No-Vax attacked the headquarters of CGIL in Rome. The ETF strongly condemns these attacks and stands in solidarity with CGIL. For us, this is an attack on democracy and the entire trade union movement, and it shows the urgent need for the EU to take action and defend our European values with a plan to fight extreme right movements.

ETF welcomes US election outcome as positive win for workers

This important win for America’s labour movement will certainly bring about stronger ties between trade unions in Europe and the US.  They can count on us for support. We may be far apart, but our trade union values and our fight are one and the same.
