(ANSA) - UDINE - Workers in 10 east EU countries earn 18% and
42% of west EU wages; 18% in Bulgaria, 42% in Estonia. Slovenia
is the only 'eastern EU' country where working people earn more
than half (60% of) the EU 15 average wage.
It's from these data that at At today's Tri-Partite Social Summit - with Presidents Juncker and Tusk, Prime Minister Ratas of Estonia, and the Labour Ministers of Estonia, Bulgaria and Austria - that Luca Visentini, General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation called for fast proclamation of an ambitious European Pillar of Social Rights.
"We want to create change to benefit working people - said Luca Visentini - The Gothenburg Summit, and subsequent Summits on the future of Europe, need to show that the EU wants a better Europe for working people". (ANSA).
