COVID-19 Watch // ETUC Briefing notes

The ETUC launches a series of ‘COVID-19 Watch’ briefing notes.

They focus on developments providing critical information on the impacts of COVID-19 on labour markets, workers and citizens across Europe.

These Briefing Notes are produced by the ETUC with the support of the ETUI and ETUC affiliated organisations.
