European Works Councils (EWCs) are forums for transnational workers solidarity. EWCs can influence multinational companies´ decisions when they are grounded in a strong trade union network.

The EFBWW supports EWCs in the construction, building materials and wood sectors.

The EFBWW is strong contributor to the ETUC´s More Democracy at Work campaign. The goal is to push the European Commission, Parliament and Council to revise the EU´s framework for information, consultation and participation in favour of workers. Particularly, the EFBWW demands a revision of the EWC directive 2009/38/EC. Together with the other European sectoral trade union federations and the ETUC we have formulated 10 demands to change the directive.
