The second IndustriAll European Trade Union Congress took place in Madrid from 7 – 9 June 2016 (see article n°9721) and saw a new team head up the organization. Luc Triangle is the federation’s new General Secretary after previously holding the post of Deputy General Secretary and kindly responded to questions by Planet Labor over what the federation was aiming to achieve in the next four years.
The congress closed with a strong mandate for the new team and a work program that was widely supported by the delegates. What initially comes to mind for you?
Luc Triangle. I take a lot on board from the debate and the first point, is that we have to be present and active in the debate in Europe. We have to make our direction and opinions clear vis-à-vis politics, the European Commission, companies, but also within the ETUC.
