Whether that inflation comes from the unprecedented conflict with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, or covid, or whatever, the consequences are well known: life gets harder for people. All of that happened while we are yet to face the climate crisis which becoming more and more imminent. We are in the middle of a colossal domino effect in full force.<\/p>\n<p>Every day, media outlets around Europe are unceasing to voice people\u2019s struggle, to cope with catastrophic energy bills, and the high rocketing price of basic human needs such as food, water, clothing, sleep, and shelter. People are screaming about their frozen wages while their managers are asking for their understanding, for their patients. But at the same time, their superiors cannot promise better conditions. Inflation is no more a level of economic growth, but has as main effect to make people poorer. Within our European institution, inflation hits first the numerous low salaries, provoking a real and absolute pauperization. And where are we, The Union Syndicale, in the middle of this mess? Since the foundation of our Union in 1974, (during another crisis), we realize that trade union action will always be difficult. But admittedly we are an essential part of the European Union as we aim at improving the main actors of European construction: the staff. We are essential to compensate for the shortcomings of structures which are less and less able to solve the challenges of our time, whether structural (concentration of capital and development of multinational companies) or cyclical (energy crisis and economic).<\/p>\n<p>We believe that we can achieve anything by establishing a dialogue, enabling all of us to understand each other\u2019s problems better and find ways to resolve them. Of course, it will not be an easy road. From the origin of inflation to the worker\u2019s problem which links to the climate and energy crisis and everything in between are all linked to one another. We have to understand that all of the crisis that we are facing today is not simple question-and-answer game such as which come first, chicken or eggs. This edition of AGORA is trying to map out the problems that we are facing today in order for us to understand where should we start.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_default thick_3 style_solid color_primary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_3880b28b cornerbottomright has_ratio align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><div style=\"padding-bottom:100%\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mavraganis.Nicolas-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-10 wpb_column vc_column_container cornerleftbottom\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner us_custom_77db9625\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h4>Nicolas Mavraganis<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_fc36dcad\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h6>About the author<\/h6>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>President of USF since July 2019.
