Now my former colleagues from the @aob.nl with a presentation on organising at the #YourTurn2 conference in Vilnius. Including one of the AOb's best organisers Jean Merlet.
@etuce.bsky.social

The Your Turn 2 Final Conference is now underway in Vilnius.
Unionists from across Europe are meeting to discuss link leadership, workplace‑based organising, and long‑term strategies for trade union renewal.
This marks an important step in supporting stronger, more participatory education unions.

Conférence finale du projet #YourTurn² du @etuce.bsky.social sur le renouvellement syndical. A #Vilnius, les syndicats européens de l' #éducation évoqueront notamment l'importance des leaders syndicaux locaux (= les S1). Elles et ils sont un maillon indispensable entre le terrain et le syndicat.

Final conference of @etuce.bsky.social #YourTurn2 project on union renewal. Building a strong profession, strong education & teacher unions, the best education systems start with organising the school, the workplace.

Our joint call with @etuce.bsky.social to invest in public health and address workforce shortages was featured in @politico.eu's Morning Health Care.

As leaders meet tomorrow, our message is clear: competitiveness cannot come at the expense of public services.

Ahead of tomorrow’s leaders’ retreat, EPSU + @etuce.bsky.social call on European Council President @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu to invest in public services. Not austerity. Not deregulation. Europe’s future depends on it.

Distributing public funds to corporations without strings attached (no public money to tax avoiders, to overpaid CEOs, to share-buy backs...) would be at the expense of education, health and public services @etuce.bsky.social and @epsu.bsky.social say

We want a strengthening of public services

EPSU and ETUCE to European Council: public services are key for a better future for all Joint letter calls on EU policymakers to recognise funding and investment in public services as essential to the future of the EU.

With @epsu.bsky.social , we call on EU leaders to recognise that investing in education, health, and care is essential for a fair and prosperous future.
The Stability & Growth Pact must be suspended. Teachers, health workers, and care workers deserve better.

La préparation aux risques ne doit pas conduire à la militarisation de l'éducation ou à la mise au pas de la jeunesse.

Preparedness in education must not lead to the militarisation of education or the loss of democratic sovereignty.

Teachers and their unions must be part of the design of any preparedness strategy.

ETUCE sets out key principles for EU and national authorities.
