ETUC – Nobel Peace Prize to the EU: time has come to ensure social peace in the Union
The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) has welcomed the Nobel Peace Prize awarding to the Europe Union (EU). However the ETUC calls on European leaders to ensure social peace for their citizens and workers by ending austerity policies and moving towards a sustainable growth ensuring quality jobs.
Commenting the Nobel Peace Prize awarded by the EU, Bernadette Ségol, ETUC General Secretary said: “This is good news and a welcome reminder of the EU’s historical contribution to peace since its foundation. But we also need now to ensure social peace in the Union. A first step would be for a reversal of current austerity policies and the adoption of the Social Compact for Europe that the ETUC has proposed”.
