Putting
the 'Social' Back into Europe
Last year saw a succession
of rulings by the European Court of Justice which saw workers'
fundamental rights lose out to business rights in the EU.
The judgments in these cases have had a profound and far-reahing
effect for trade unionists across Europe.
The United Campaign believes
the ECJ decisions are wrong and are supporting the ETUC and
others fighting to redress the balance in Europe.
John Usher, United Campaign
Director has recently produced an article for the autumn 2009
newsletter, outlining how the ECJ judgments have affected
ordinary working people and highlights the implications of
dsputes such as the Lindsey Oil Refinery Dispute. To

A comprehensive overview
of the ECJ cases and trade union rights has been compiled
by United Campaign National Secretary John Hendy QC and Prof
Keith Ewing. 'The New Spectre Haunting Europe' is available
from the Institute
of Employment Rights.
The Institute of Employment
Rights and SERTUC are also organising a FREE
conference on the ECJ cases in London.
