Today Bernadette Ségol, General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the leaders of Spanish trade unions demand investment in growth and jobs in a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Rajoy in Madrid.
“The crisis is not over. Austerity does not work. Europe needs a plan for investments in growth and jobs, such as the ETUC New Path for Europe. We propose an investment target of 2% of EU GDP annually over ten years. Such investments would help build a strong industrial base, good public services and innovative research and educational facilities, with 11 million quality new jobs across Europe” said Bernadette Ségol.
