On this day in 1941, workers in Belgium launched one of the first strikes in Nazi-ruled Europe — the so-called “Strike of the 100,000”.

They fought against poverty wages — and showed the working class can resist occupation.

Earlier this year, dozens of young trade unionist from the finance sector gathered in Amsterdam to exchange about their role in the union, discuss their issues – like rising house prices or AI – and built lasting connections for the future.

RIGHT NOW: Bank workers are picketing at the BRD Romania headquarters in Bucharest.

Their collective agreement is expiring today — and the offer on the table is unacceptable.

UNI Europa's Management Committee stands in solidarity with the workers and Sindicatul IMPACT.

We were at least 75,000 on the streets of Brussels today: unions, women's organisations, citizens movements, students, schoolchildren.

The whole of society was present to defend pensions, purchasing power and a vision of society built on solidarity.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

Everything is becoming more expensive.

And the Belgian government is doubling down on cuts to pensions and wages — instead of taxing wealth.

But workers and unions say: enough is enough.

We join them for a major demonstration in Brussels tomorrow.

Europe still needs a universal postal service that delivers letters and parcels affordably to every single address.

That requires a fair system where all delivery companies contribute to the public system.

A major strike at @deutschetelekom is sweeping across Germany.

In the last two days, 7,500 workers took industrial action a 6.6 per cent pay rise.

Today the strike is moving from north to south.

Solidarity with the workers and their union ver.di.

“It’s incredibly frustrating not to be able to do my job the way I think is best – simply because I don’t have the time.”

Katharina worked as a nurse in intensive care in Austria. She never felt she had enough time: for her patients, for her colleagues and for herself.

We support UNI Europa’s campaign to Save our Post.

This is about 1.8 million workers.

This is about our right to communicate.

This is about fair competition.

The upcoming reform of Europe’s oldest communications network must be modernised by putting people first.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

Europe's postal services are under threat.

1.8 million posties could lose their jobs.

And we won't be able to send and receive mail at affordable prices anymore.

But the upcoming EU Delivery Act could prevent that.

Sign now our petition to #SaveOurPost.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

At the launch event of our #SaveOurPost campaign in Brussels today, together with consumer groups and EU lawmakers like @leilachaibi, @johandanielsson and @liandersson, we called on @EU_Commission to to safeguard postal jobs and make this essential public service future-proof.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

In 1489, the Thurn and Taxis family had an imperial monopoly to carry the mail of Europe’s elites.

500 years later, that network has become a public service – but its status is now at risk in the place where it was born: Brussels.

Every year, EU public authorities spend over €2 trillion on goods and services.

But the system for awarding these contracts to private companies is broken.

We are here to fix it. Join us at the first-ever European Procurement Summit next week on 14 April in Brussels.

The US-Israeli war on Iran promises fresh risks to Europe’s energy-intensive steel firms.

Public ownership is a way of avoiding mass layoffs and stabilizing the supply of steel to sectors like public transportation and housing: https://t.co/rL58Gi4s4f

Kwasi cleans in London by night. To afford the city, he works a second job by day. That’s why he’s also a union rep with @unitetheunion – fighting for better pay for every cleaner at his company.

Watch and listen to Kwasi's story in his own words.

BREAKING: 23,000 Lidl workers in Italy have secured predictable shifts, guaranteed minimum working hours and a stronger say in their work organisation.

This is why Lidl workers across Europe are joining unions — because together they can win real improvements for their lives.

⚠️Years of talks. Dozens of bargaining sessions. Still no deal. Now the Google Korea union is warning a strike could be on the table.

Retail workers, carers, security guards, cleaners and IT professionals make up a majority of Europe's workforce today.

But they are being left behind with precarious contracts, lower wages and weaker job security.

We commissioned a report to understand why.
