Mission & Goals
The Central European Trade Union Network (CETUN) assembles trade unions from Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland. As a regional grouping of ETUC members, the network’s goal is to foster trade union structures and social dialogue in the region. Through greater cooperation and coordination participants also aspire to promote common themes at European level.
EU Legislative Interests
As part of the European trade union movement, CETUN represents the concerns of workers within the region and their trade unions in all relevant policy areas vis-à-vis the European institutions. This primarily concerns economic and social policy and issues such as Social Europe and workers' rights, co-determination, European works councils, the posting of workers, working time, strengthening fundamental social rights, occupational health and safety, shaping the internal market, financial market regulation, company law, public services, equal opportunities and anti-discrimination.
