ETUC Resolution on 2021 – Year for More Democracy at Work Adopted at the Executive Committee of 22-23 March 2021 Background

ETUC Position on a new EU framework on information, consultation and board-level representation for European company forms and for companies making use of EU company law instruments enabling company mobility Adopted at the Executive Committee of 9-10 December 2020

Today MEPs on the European Parliament’s Employment Committee voted for a more balanced Company Law Package, improving rights for workers.

Trade unions have reacted to protect workers following the announcement of massive store closures by Dutch household retailer Blokker. Some 100 branches will close their doors this year, plus 100 more at sister company Marskramer. A total of 1,900 of the 7,000 jobs at Blokker, Marskramer and parent company Blokker Holding will disappear, leaving around 400 stores after restructuring. The company plans to sell the branches, hoping to maintain jobs for some 13,500 workers in the Netherlands and elsewhere.
