Action Day
The possibility of organising an action day against precarious employment in 2009 is an essential element of the EMF Work Programme adopted by the EMF Congress in 2007.
For more secure employment, against precarious work
The EMF Collective Bargaining Policy Conference 2009 launched the 2nd Common Demand:
“For more secure employment, against precarious work”,
which will be included in the collective bargaining demands of all its 75 affiliated trade unions and in future collective bargaining rounds throughout Europe over the next four years.
