About Us

ETF provides practical support, advise and training to SNB and EWC members. ETF’s role can be broad and will vary according to the individual cases and requests of affiliates.

Several levels are involved:

• The Executive Committee is responsible for formulating and safeguarding the overall political framework for EWC coordination.
• The Secretariat manages the trade union coordination for EWC policy. A designated staff member oversees this task. Coordination includes communication with affiliated organisations, ETF sections, the SNB, EWC members, the experts and the company management.
• The EWC Coordination Group facilitates direct communication and consultation between the ETF Secretariat and affiliated organizations regarding EWC matters. This group comprises trade union representatives interested in EWCs and EWC coordinators.
