EPSU update on CETA December 2016 and request for action

Dear colleagues,

Please find attached the latest CETA update. On this occasion we are translating the update – please check next week our website at http://www.epsu.org/article/epsu-update-ceta-15-december-2016 for other languages versions. The focus of the update is on the ratification process in the European Parliament.

There are key votes planned on CETA for 12 December (ENVI Committee), 24 January (INTA Committee) and 1 February (plenary) where your lobbying
support is requested. The most immediate task is to contact ENVI MEPs to ask their support for the ENVI CETA Opinion that will be voted on 12 January. Beyond this lobbying MEPs.

EPSU materials to support actions and awareness on CETA are available on the EPSU website http://www.epsu.org/CETA and do not hesitate to ask for any further information that might be helpful.

 

The European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) brings together trade unions from across Europe. We influence the policies and decisions of employers, governments and European institutions that affect public service workers, their families and communities. We mobilise for action and change and are committed to achieving another, social Europe.

The European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) represents 8 million public service workers across Europe. We are the strong trade union voice that workers need, whether that’s with employers, the European Parliament, the Commission or national governments.

EPSU is the European region of the global public services federation PSI and is also a member of the European Trade Union Confederation.

EPSU works hard to deliver better working conditions, improved health and safety and enhanced rights for our members. By sitting down with employers at a European level, we negotiate best practice agreements that improve the working lives of public service workers and ensure quality services for citizens.
