European Union Economic Policy

Congress is appalled at the European Unio continued drive towards neo-liberal austerity, its erosion of workers rights and its intensifying use of unemployment as its main economic regulator.Congress believes the decision of the EU that resulted in the attempted tax on the savings of Cypriot workers and families clearly demonstrates a callous disregard for the welfare of ordinary people. Congress believes the EU is demonstrating that it is fundamentally pro-privatisation, anti-workers and undemocratic. Congress agrees to do all that is necessary to fight the EU's anti-worker agenda and sends solidarity to all our brothers and sisters who are fighting austerity.
