Skupina radnika
Europska industrija suočava se s brojnim izazovima, kao što su iznimno visoka cijena energije, poteškoće u privlačenju kvalificirane radne snage i pristup financiranju. EU je 2023. predstavio industrijski plan u okviru zelenog plana, usmjeren na postizanje ugljične neutralnosti. Prilikom predstavljanja političkih smjernica prošle jeseni, predsjednica Ursula von der Leyen osvrnula se, u duhu izvješća Marija Draghija, na „plan za čistu industriju” za konkurentne industrije i kvalitetna radna mjesta.
Industrija je ključan dio zelene i digitalne tranzicije, kao i našeg ekonomskog sustava. Ali što taj novi plan znači za radnike? Snažna, sindikalno organizirana, dobro plaćena radna snaga s dobrim radnim uvjetima nije samo pitanje sindikata već je i važna za društvo u cjelini, demokraciju i socijalnu stabilnost, ali i produktivnost poduzeća.
Bez odgovarajućih smjernica i dostatnog javnog financiranja, taj bi se plan u konačnici mogao ograničiti samo na one dijelove Draghijeva izvješća i programe konkurentnosti koji najviše pogoduju deregulaciji. Time bi se mogao ugroziti europski socijalni model jer bi se poticao štetan oblik tržišnog natjecanja s negativnim posljedicama na plaće i radne uvjete.
Taj problem tema je zajedničke konferencije o europskoj industrijskoj politici za kvalitetna radna mjesta, koju Skupina radnika EGSO-a i Europska konfederacija sindikata (ETUC) organiziraju 14. veljače u prostorijama EGSO-a. Pozivamo sve zainteresirane da zabilježe datum u kalendar i pridruže se raspravi.
