EPSU

EPSU stands for the European Public Services Union. It is a trade union federation representing millions of public service employees across Europe. EPSU is a democratic organization that works to improve the working and living conditions of public service workers. It advocates for strong and well-funded public services that benefit all citizens. The union actively campaigns on a range of issues including fair wages, decent working hours, health and safety at work, and the right to collective bargaining.

EPSU engages in lobbying and advocacy at both national and European levels. It works with governments, employers, and European institutions to influence policies that affect public services and their workers. The federation also plays a role in promoting social dialogue and cooperation between trade unions and employers in the public sector. It is affiliated with the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and Public Services International (PSI).

The organization was founded in 1993 and has grown to become one of the largest European trade union federations. Its membership spans various sectors within public services, including healthcare, local and regional government, utilities, and social services. EPSU's work is driven by the principle that public services are essential for social justice, democracy, and economic prosperity.
