Putting Trade Union Power into European Batteries
Two-year Eu-funded project (02/09/2024 – 01/09/2026)
The European battery sector faces challenges, including poor working conditions and a lack of established social dialogue in
many production sites. As electrification transforms the automotive industry, existing workplaces will change, and newer companies often remain unorganised.
The BatteryTUPower project aims to strengthen trade union capacity to represent workers, negotiate collective agreements, and
monitor occupational health and safety standards. It also supports job-to-job transitions through social dialogue, ensuring workers are retrained and upskilled. IndustriAll Europe affiliates are committed to building fair, healthy, and sustainable workplaces in this critical emerging sector.
- Co-financed by the European Commission, participating affiliates, industriAll Europe, others tbc.
- Part of the industriAll Europe Organising Programme
- 1-2 companies/countries each with organisers on the ground
- Committed affiliates are invited to contribute their expertise, own organising activities, networking, negotiate CBAs in the battery industry
- Cooperation with IndustriALL Global Union
