On 05 April during the EWC annual meeting the milk products group signed with the European Federation of Food, Agriculture and Tourism Trade Unions (EFFAT) a declaration on inclusion, diversity and equality at the workplace. In it the parties commit to ‘enforcing effective measures aimed at achieving real equality between women and men and eliminate any direct or indirect discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, political beliefs, trade union membership or any other personal or social condition or circumstance.’
In addition to promoting equality and combatting discrimination, the parties are seeking to secure balanced representation in the workplace, eliminate all forms of harassment (sexual and moral), boost LGTB inclusion, include those with disabilities, as well as improve rights that facilitate a better work-life balance as part of the collective negotiation process.
