Dear readers,
The wave of strikes across Europe continues unabated. The working class continues to take to the streets against high energy prices, the general rise in the cost of living, precarious labour realities, anti-union attacks, austerity measures and, in France, an increase in the retirement age.
This newsletter gives an overview of the development of the strikes and mass mobilisations across Europe and looks at the role of the trade unions and the challenges they're facing to fight effectively against the policies of social inequality.
As well as engaging content on current workers' struggles in various European countries, this newsletter also contains our latest publications and information on topical events organised by transform! europe and our network. We wish you interesting reading! Štefica Gazibara, web editor for transform! europe
