Europe’s industrial future is being decided now
Across Europe, industrial workers are facing restructuring, plant closures and job cuts. Good industrial jobs are at risk — and with them the communities, regions and value chains that depend on them.
The pressure is particularly acute in the automotive sector — Europe’s industry of industries. What happens there has consequences across manufacturing and its vast network of suppliers. But the challenge goes much wider: European industry as a whole is under pressure.
Industrial decline is not inevitable.
Europe has the skills, knowledge, industrial base and workers to build a strong industrial future. What we need is investment in production, technologies and skills — and a transition that creates good jobs instead of destroying them.
Workers cannot be asked to pay the price for underinvestment and strategic decisions they did not make.
Enough is enough.
IndustriAll Europe and its affiliates are mobilising across sectors and borders for a different future: one built on investment, good jobs and strong European value chains.
This is our industry. These are our jobs. This is our future.

What we are fighting for:
- LINK PUBLIC SUPPORT TO BINDING CONDITIONS
European and national public support for automotive companies should be conditional on measurable commitments covering investment, employment, collective bargaining, reskilling and protection against relocation.
Publicly supported funds should not be used to finance dividends or share buybacks where agreed investment or employment commitments are not being met.
Effective clawback provisions should apply when companies fail to fulfil the conditions attached to public support. - MOBILISE EUROPEAN DEMAND TO STRENGTHEN EUROPEAN PRODUCTION
Europe has significant tools at its disposal to accelerate fleet renewal while supporting its industrial base.
Corporate fleets, public procurement and social leasing can help stimulate demand for cleaner vehicles while creating greater certainty for investment in European production and supply chains.
These instruments should be designed to maximise European added value, industrial investment and quality employment. - SECURE STRATEGIC VALUE CHAINS IN EUROPE
Europe should establish the conditions for strategic automotive capabilities to remain and develop within the EU.
This includes raw materials, batteries, power electronics, software and vehicle assembly, supported by investment in innovation, skills and infrastructure.
The objective should be resilient European value chains capable of competing globally while meeting high social and environmental standards.Deliver afforable, abundant, clean energy for our industries and households. - MAKE EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE A CORE INDUSTRIAL-POLICY OBJECTIVE
European public policy should actively support vehicles and technologies that generate substantial value within Europe.
- STOP THE BLEED
Halt the job cuts and demands for worker concessions. We need a serious plan to save industry. - INVEST IN OUR COMMON FUTURE NOW
Rather than maximizing profits, ensure that sites, RDI and skills are invested in. It’s a corporate choice if technology leadership is abandoned. - TAKE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS WORKERS AND OUR COMMUNITIES
Worker participation and strong industrial relations are fundamental to deliver the proactive industrial policies needed to maintain and transform European industry. Companies must respect collective agreements, information and consultation rights. - DON’T TALK DOWN EUROPE
