We mobilise for action and change!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.epsu.org\">EPSU<\/a> brings together over 270 trade union organisations from 49 European countries. We influence the policies and decisions of employers, governments and <a href=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/en\/organisations-membres-usf\/\">European institutions<\/a>, campaigning for well-funded public services and better rights at work. Our vision is of a Europe in which men and women and our environment are not exploited and with public services at its core. Good jobs in our sectors mean quality services for citizens.<\/p>\n<p>EPSU represents 8 million workers who are delivering public services, whether they are directly employed by the public sector or work for non-profit or private sector organisations. Our members work in health and social services; local, regional and national government; energy waste and water.<\/p>\n<p>EPSU is recognised as the European regional organisation of the global public services federation PSI and is also a member of the European Trade Union Confederation. We work with the other European trade union federations that are part of the ETUC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NEGOTIATING AT EUROPEAN LEVEL<\/strong> EPSU works hard to deliver better working conditions, improved health and safety and enhanced rights for our members. By sitting down with employers at a European level, in social dialogue committees, we negotiate agreements that aim to improve the working lives of public service workers and ensure quality services for citizens.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20180614-EPSU-Congress-2019-Defending-and-promoting-ps-and-ps-workers.pdf\">Read here<\/a> the EPSU
