A delegation of PAME and the Federation of Pharmaceuticals participated in the International Trade Union Seminar of Energy, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical Industry organized by the Federation of Chemical Industry of France FNIC CGT in Luan, France on 24-26.
The unions discussed the consequences of competitiveness and the pursuit of profit by business groups in these sectors, both in the lives of the masses and in the environment and in working relations, with typical examples the exploitation of vaccines as commodities by large multinationals. Huge increases in energy prices accompanied by an escalation of the anti-workers’ attack on workers in all sectors as well as the need for new steps and initiatives for joint action by the unions internationally.
