Citizens Panels - Labour Rights and Decent Work

January 29, 2011 15:00

Tagged as: workers_struggles

Toynbee Hall
London

Places:

The EUs common market is blamed for many ills: for creating a race to the bottom of rights for workers, for stealing jobs away from one country to give them to another, for exacerbating the recession and unemployment, for overworking people, or not allowing people to work enough.... How many of these criticisms are accurate? Could we imagine a common market that rather than making everyones lives worse, makes them better?

The first European citizens panel on labour and social rights will take place in London on January 29th at Toynbee Hall.
