Letter of solidarity of the ETUC towards Spanish people and trade unions following the tragic floods Dear brothers and sisters, The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) expresses our deepest condolences and our full solidarity to Spanish people and trade unions following the tragic floods in Spain. We join with Spanish trade unions in mourning the victims.  Our thoughts are with the victims’ families and loved ones and with the communities of the territories affected by this tragedy. 

The European trade movement, under the auspices of the European Trade Union Confederation, met with the Ukrainian trade union movement represented by FPU and KPU on 23 April 2024 in Lublin, Poland in the framework of the Trade Union Summit for Ukraine. Read the declaration here 

The ETUC reiterates its very strong support for the French trade unions united in their mobilisation for social dialogue and against the pension reform in France. The way in which the French pension reform was adopted, without any dialogue with social partners, is not acceptable. The European Social model is based on social dialogue.  The respect for social dialogue and for the role of social partners is a key component of democracy in Europe and must be promoted, not disregarded.
