President speaks at the Congress of the European Federation of Public Service Unions

President Higgins addressed a conference of the European Federation of Public Services Union.

The EPSU Congress takes place every five years, bringing together trade union representatives from across Europe.

In his speech, President Higgins reflected on the important role played by trade unions in the growth of democracy and prosperity in Europe, and in meeting the challenges associated with globalisation. 

The address built on other speeches by President Higgins on the future of work and the impact of “capitalism without responsibility” before, including:
