1973-2013-40-years-of-history-of-the-European-Trade-Union-Confederation_detailThis joint ETUC-ETUI publication takes stock of the ETUC’s 40-year history. On the basis of numerous unpublished documents, the book tells the story of the challenges, successes and failures of the ETUC over these forty years. It combines a scientific and historical approach with a political one, the aim being to ‘reveal a rationale for action and a sense of coherence, and to identify the guiding principle that has characterised the – sometimes fraught – history of the ETUC’.
