Opinion of the EESC on ‘EU crisis exit strategies and industrial change: more precarious or sustainable jobs?"

This opinion seeks to answer the question of how European industry can best emerge from the crisis.

The EESC is convinced that what is needed here is sustainable jobs. That means jobs that enable to people to earn an income in a safe and healthy working environment and in a climate that respects workers' rights and accommodates fruitful social dialogue; it also means highly productive jobs that provide added value in terms of innovation, quality, efficiency and productivity.
