The World Movement of Christian Workers (WMCW) celebrates May 1st as one of the most important events for workers and reasserts its solidarity and communion with all men and women who are suffering from serious injustice at work.


Declaration

"Let us open the future for world of solidarity" was the slogan of the last General
Assembly of the WMCW. To achieve this we need to analyze the reality around us. On

In the Europe 2020 strategy, the European Union has identified its targets and objectives for the coming decade. The consequences of this far-reaching decision will be felt by European citizens even on the local and municipal level.

The website http://www.vote-europe.net aims to involve as many people as possible in the discussions about the Europe 2020 strategy and its objectives.

The European Sunday Alliance supports the protection of health and safety of workers and their right to a limit on maximum working hours and of a weekly rest period, including, in principle Sunday.

The Declaration

Mitte Mai waren viele Plätze in den spanischen Städten (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao..) von den „Indignés (Empörten)“ besetzt.

Auch in anderen Ländern Europas wie in Griechenland, Frankreich, Portugal und Deutschland rebellierten die Jugendlichen gegen die politischen Zustände

Bericht der HOAC (fr.)

Poverty is on the increase in Europe, with almost one in five Europeans being affected. According to Eurostat, the EU statistical body, at the end of 2008, across the EU, a total of 85 million people suffered from poverty, i.e. 17 % of all Europeans.
The ECWM casts a critical eye on this scandalous development and calls for the dismantling of the social security systems, the massive creation of atypical and precarious working relations and avoidance of the Working Poor through an appropriate minimum wage in all European states.
