6. 3 Key Points on IndustriALL GU’s Action Plan First, organizing and building stronger unions. We need to increase our membership to build more power. We need to organize everyone, also precarious workers. Second, trade union rights. We need to make sure that every worker has the right to join a union of his/her choice and enjoy the protection of a collective agreement. We need to react to every violation by a government or a company. Third, fighting for a new economic and social model that puts people first. We need to put pressure on political decision-makers for investments in the creation of good quality jobs instead of precarious jobs, for the growth of manufacturing industry instead of financial speculation, and for comprehensive social protection for all citizens.

Croatia and Romania are full participants in the Working Party. The European Commission, representing the European Union, also participates in WP6 meetings. The WP6 has also worked closely with industry groups representing shipbuilders, ship owners, ship operators and trade union interests,so that a wide range of perspectives can be taken account by WP6 members during their formulation of policy responses to address issues and challenges faced by the global shipbuilding sector.
