Launch of Europe’s largest trade union federation

This week the largest trade union Federation in Europe will be formed following the merger of the European Metalworkers’ Federation (EMF), the European Mine, Chemical and Energy Workers’ Federation (EMCEF) and the European Trade Union Federation for Textiles, Clothing and Leather (ETUF:TCL). The new European Trade Union Federation (ETUF) will become the main union body for industrial workers in Europe. It will have its head office in the same building as the ETUC in Brussels and its aim will be to target multinational companies from its improved power base to “fight for decent working conditions and secure employment.”
