International

The CSP, via the Employment Relations and Union Services function, has links to and contacts with a number of organisations with an interest in European and wider international employment, human rights and campaigning issues:

Trades Union Congress (TUC)

The CSP, through its affiliation to the TUC, has access to information on European and international issues that are of relevance, including employment and health and safety directives from the European Commission, information on other European Commission and European Parliament activity, and political, civil and social and human rights issues. The CSP attends regular meetings of the TUC's European Network , which are open to European officers of the TUC's affiliated organisations.

  • The TUC website has information on international issues and various countries. CSP members thinking of working abroad may find the following link useful:   http://www.tuc.org.uk/international
