FIEC Vice-President attends EFBWW-ETUI seminar on the “future of work” in construction
On 26 March, FIEC Vice-President Joël Schons presented FIEC’s views on the occasion of a seminar on the “future of work” in the construction sector, co-organised by the European Federation of Building and Wood Workers (EFBWW) and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).
Regarding the digital and green transition in our sector, Schons insisted on the fact that “We are all in the same boat!” and we should therefore work hand in hand, employers and trade unions.
In this regard, he highlighted in particular skills and health & safety issues, related to the twin transition, which have to be addressed at the social partners’ sectorial level.
To illustrate this, he mentioned in particular the Construction Blueprint project, which aims at developing new training curricula at national level, fit for the new skills’ needs in our sector and in which both FIEC and EFBWW are closely involved.
