14th EFBWW General Assembly
12-13-14 December 2023 Helsinki, Finland
The three-day event is the federation’s most important decision body. It analyses the activities of the previous Congress period and sets out the EFBWW strategies and priorities for the coming years to safeguard and improve the rights of workers in the construction, building materials, forest, and wood-working industries.
The EFBWW Congress comes at a crucial time, with the war in Ukraine, political change across Europe, European elections, the European Green Deal, the renovation wave, digitalisation, and the Recovery and Resilience Facility in the background.
Now is the time. Time to build, fight and win together for a fair, decent and greener European labour market.
We look forward to seeing you in Helsinki!
