Using strength in one place to build a strong workers’ voice across the region is vital for the sustainability of our movement over the long term. Through UNI Europa, the unions of workers in the services sectors coordinate to build workers’ power. With their joint organising efforts, they work together to embed rooted and inclusive structures for durable progress from the workplace up. They advocate together within different institutional spaces, including the EU, to ensure policies favour working people.
