EPSU was on the streets in Zagreb this weekend with the protest for higher wages and pensions.

This is the #PublicServicesEmergency in real life: pressure on wages and pensions, rising costs, and public services undermined by austerity, deregulation and privatisation.

This is how we fight back! ✊

Today, EPSU President Françoise Geng is in Barcelona to forward trade union demands towards progressive leaders.

Public services are essential for a dignified life; but also the strongest antidote against far-right, as public services are the greatest equalisers of society.

The future is public.

Unions concerned about the closing of public and democratic spaces as governments in some countries like Serbia increase repression and attack media freedoms.

This translates in interventions in unions.

We stand with the unions in defending trade union independence
