Collective Bargaining Policy

In order to improve working and living conditions for the metalworkers in Europe, the EMF works towards a European coordinated collective bargaining policy. Thus, the EMF as a federation of European metal workers' trade unions, is part of the process to create a more social Europe where there is room for a "genuine negotiation culture".

Today, the EMF's collective bargaining coordination activities and approved policy papers cover a range of subjects from wages and working time to employment policies, training and social security issues.

The EMF coordination approach is implemented in addition by regional networks. They have been created all over Europe to let observers participate in the collective bargaining negotiations in neighbouring countries.

All of the EMF affiliates also participate in the Eucob@n Network.

From August 2009 all information concerning EMF Collective Bargaining Policy is found on the Eucob@n Portal.

For more information, please contact Bart Samyn, EMF Deputy General Secretary, Ralf Götz, EMF Policy Adviser or Erlend Hansen, EMF Policy Adviser.
