The interests of workers &#8211; whether they be officials, manual workers or employees &#8211; need to be represented collectively in order to be heard. That is the first reason why workers form trade unions.<\/p>\n<p>If today, just to cite a few examples,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you continue to receive your salary when you are sick;<\/li>\n<li>you have a salary that is adapted each year to maintain your purchasing power;<\/li>\n<li>you enjoy very good medical cover;<\/li>\n<li>you can take time off to care for those nearest to you, thanks to parental and family leave or to working part time;<\/li>\n<li>you can hope your career will develop correctly thanks to guaranteed promotion rates;<\/li>\n<li>you are free on Saturday;<\/li>\n<li>you can return home at a decent time;<\/li>\n<li>you are sure you can take your annual holidays,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>it is thanks to the social progress that the trade unions, and in particular <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Union Syndicale<\/span><\/strong>, have obtained through negotiation and strikes. These rights did not just fall from the sky. Their realisation,in the European and International Civil Service, has only been possible thanks to the tens of thousands of colleagues who have joined <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Union Syndicale<\/span><\/strong>, and in so-doing have given the whole of the staff the power to make themselves heard.In the article by G\u00fcnther Lorenz, Honorary Presidentof Union Syndicale, at page 6, you will discover in greater detail the history of the social progress that has been brought about by Union Syndicale. Or read the article by our advocate-barrister, Ma\u00eetre Louis, at page 11, to become aware of the rights that have been defended and won through court action the over the decades.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>The Civil Service: backbone of European construction<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Without the Civil Service, European construction would have remained a dead letter.

We think that, alone, solidarity with all workers as a whole, through moving beyond the confines of our offices and buildings, makes it possibleto create a favourable climate for social progress and to inverse the policies of austerity that are at work in Europe. Mobilisation against the new generation of free-trade treaties, such as the TTIP or TISA, or the struggle to improve the European working time Directive are recent examples of coordination with our trade union partners, which leads to results that can be felt directly in our places of work.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Union Syndicale<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0-and uniquely with <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Union Syndicale<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0-you sign up to be inside the trade union movement, thanks to which so many rights have been obtained for one hundred and fifty years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solidarity between us, solidarity with the world of work arround us; unity in the face of the employer; competence; and the European ideal: that is the DNA of <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Union Syndicale<\/span>.
