Outcomes? • Trade union negotiating body encompassing, EIF representatives such as the EWC coordinator, EWC members and representatives from the national trade unions should be set up with the objective to negotiate an agreement setting a framework for the national/local negotiations that are expected to follow. This framework agreement should be concluded with the European management of the group. The first task of this coordinating body should be to get access to all the figures and the data on with the management is basing its decisions. By mutualising expertise and making all information available to the representatives from all concerned plants it should be made clear for management that playing the workforce from one country against their colleagues from other plants or country is not a solution. • If a framework agreement can't be reached with the European management, the coordination body should try to reach a consensus between the national unions including local negotiation bodies with common guidelines for the local/national negotiations. • The GUF should be involved in a case like the one presented since the company headquarter is located in Canada. • The first step should be to demand an extraordinary EWC meeting in order to get more information. • Confidentiality can be a problem when sharing information between the various level of negotiation. But trade union representatives should stand with the common view that information having an impact on employment and working conditions must be given to the representatives of workers concerned by the envisaged measures.
