Union activities ex :Booklets,Flyers, Leaflets, Posters

Union activities Sustainable industry : good job + social rights New model of developpment : Manufacturing and service industries must answer to human needs a Society based on Human and Social rights protect Human Being and respect of the environment New balance of sharing wealth : more for Labor, less for Capital and shareholders. Social policies to rescue the economy instead of austerity policies GFA and/or trade union network Common ground of collective guarantees. Active solidarity between the workforce within TNC

The Schneider Electric (SE) case 400 plants closed during last 10 years Still 1000 all over the world in more than 100 countries employees and sales of 24 B € in 2012 Transfer of production (Brazil in 2005 then Indonesia & Malesia) 20 toxic products used in the production process. Offshoring and outsourcing instead of implementing Reach and RoHS. Looking for countries with low environmental regulation, low OHS rights At the same time SE claims for : Being a member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Belonging to the Alliance to save energy Belonging to the Clinton Climate initiative Being an active member of the UN Global compact Being a partner of the World Health Organization Many others associations like CSR Europe, or member of the board of directors of French study center for Corporate Responsability

The Schneider Electric case We organized many debates with the workforce about the behaviour of the company and made alternative proposals We met the union and the organized workforce at SE Batam, raised the issues, shared experiences We filed a complaint against SE for deceptive advertising We are wondering if we file a complaint at the French NPC (OECD guidelines for MNC) We try to set up a Trade Union Network for a first meeting in fall 2013 or beginning of 2014
