European trade union movement stages Euro-demonstration for better wages

Brussels, 04/03/2008

European workers are facing common problems: a drop in purchasing power, coupled with wage moderation and inequality. In response, European trade unions are mobilising on 5 April, the date of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) meeting in Slovenia, to demand better wages, greater purchasing power and equal pay.

All the ETUC's affiliated trade union organisations will be sending delegations to Ljubljana. Practical information on the route, the timing and the activities will be sent to you in the coming weeks.

- Friday 4 April: press conference

- Saturday 5 April: Euro-demonstration
