The European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) is the independent research and training centre of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). Its mission is to support, strengthen, and stimulate the European trade union movement by building bridges between research and labor.[1]
The ETUI was formed in 2005 through the merger of three specialist bodies: the European Trade Union Institute, the European Trade Union College, and the Trade Union Technical Bureau.[2] It employs a multinational team of around 60 staff members and receives financial support from the European Union.[3]
Research
[edit]The ETUI is recognised as a centre of excellence in several areas of research such as European industrial relations (including European Works Council, worker participation, European social dialogue, etc.) and working conditions (health and safety, exposure to dangerous substances – REACH, etc.).[4]
The research department consists of three subject units:
- Europeanisation of industrial relations
- Economic, employment and social policies
- Working conditions, health and safety
Every year the ETUI, publishes Benchmarking Working Europe, the ETUI's annual stock-take of macro-economic, social and bargaining conditions in Europe.[5]
