“This is a new, exciting start for European trade unionism across the whole continent of Europe. PERC will soon make its presence felt” said John Monks, ETUC General Secretary:
“Fundamental workers rights are violated not only in Russia, Belarus, Georgia and Moldova, but also in Western Europe, Baltic countries and in the Balkans. That is why PERC is putting protection and promotion of workers' trade union rights among its highest priorities” said Mikhail Shmakov, President of FNPR Russia.
