Collective Bargaining and Social Policy (CBSP)
In order to improve working and living conditions for metalworkers in Europe, EMF works towards a coordinated collective bargaining and social policy. The EMF is part of a process to create a more social Europe where there is room for a genuine negotiation culture.
Today, the EMF's activities and policy papers cover a wide range of subjects from wages and working time to employment policies, training and social security issues. The EMF approach is also implemented in regional networks.
