\nWith more than 30 registered events already, and counting, the Spanish trade unions Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and Union General de Trabajadores (UGT) will be joining this 28th<\/sup> April rallying behind their \u201cten urgent and priority measures for preventing occupational risks\u201d. See the manifesto<\/a>\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Poster<\/a><\/p>\n

The \u201cDec\u00e1logo\u201d (as they have called it) calls among other policies to fight casualization of work, well-funded prevention policies, changes in the occupational diseases registry, focus on social, gender and age determinants of occupational health, quality and independent prevention services, strengthening of labour inspection, a reinforcement of the public character of the \u201cmutuas\u201d system and support for democratizing labour relations.<\/p>\n

Both trade union centers will organise hundreds of events, including seminars, rallies, debates, and press conferences across Spain.<\/p>\n

A map with planned activities in different Spanish cities can be found in CCOO website<\/a><\/p>\n

Another ITUC affiliate, USO will organise events under the slogan \u201cPrecarious work kills”, and is organising a three day event this week in Madrid, as well as other assemblies in other regions of Spain. Webpage<\/a><\/p>\n
