Support in cross-border work.

Work is increasingly being found across national borders. Internationalisation means employees are confronted with laws and regulations in various countries. There is an ever-increasing number of third-country nationals working in Europe. As far as the WWLU is concerned, this development necessitates a trade union that is focussed on international employees who often work across borders. One day in the Netherlands, the next day in Germany, and another in Belgium, often as a third-country national. This leads to a lot of uncertainty for employees, employers and governments. Working with all the stakeholders, we strive to create more clarity and to make clear agreements. The WWLU prefers to do this in collaboration with members, other trade unions, organisations and governments from various countries.

Influencing for the purpose of clear laws and regulations

Apart from increasing internationalisation, there is an increasing complexity in terms of legislation and regulations within the borders of each country. This can easily lead to (unintentional) wrongs because employees and employers can no longer see the wood for the trees. The WWLU wants to provide employees with simple and accessible information about the laws and regulations they have to deal with on the labour market.

Promoting good working, accommodation and/or living conditions

It is crucial that employees have good working, accommodation and/or living conditions when working anywhere in Europe. Neither the environment of the employee benefit from substandard or appalling working, accommodation and/or living conditions. The WWLU is also keen to work on this and condemn wrongs and misconduct.
