Decent Work

A safe workplace that guarantees a fair wage and social security for employees and their families, combined with opportunities for advancement and fulfilling work under good working conditions – this should be a matter of course for all employees in Europe. However, the reality is often different.

As early as 1999, the International Labour Organization (ILO) created a global framework, the Decent Work Agenda, to promote decent working conditions worldwide. This agenda aims to ensure productive work, fair incomes, safety at work and social protection for all.

We at EZA are deeply committed to realising these goals in Europe. Through the exchange and transfer of knowledge between workers' organisations, EZA is working to make decent work a reality in Europe.At a time when precarious employment relationships and unsafe working conditions are on the rise, it is essential that we work together to create a world of work that offers dignity, security and justice for all.
