European Works Council hold Plenary session

On April 17/18, LIBERTY’s European senior management, including the European President and the region’s two CEOs, met with the European Works Council to discuss the situation of the business and major projects in the region.

It was also a great opportunity to congratulate the newly elected Chairman of the European Works Council, Petr Slanina, from LIBERTY Ostrava, into his important new role. Peter takes on the role from his Ostrava colleague David Verner, who has been the Chairman on the EWC since its set up in November 2021.

The team were also pleased to welcome and integrate four new Hungarian members from LIBERTY Dunaújváros to the European Works Council, joining 29 members from across continental Europe and the UK.

The European Works Council remains an important and strategic body which allows us to foster an open social dialogue on pan-European issues, on top of the normal country-level social dialogue.

“The EWC remains an important forum for our senior leadership to share updates and discuss pan-European issues with our union leaders. I am very pleased to welcome Petr Slanina as Chairman as it great to have such an experienced union representative leading this important forum. I’d also like to thank David for all of his efforts over the last few years. We look forward to a continued constructive dialogue in the future,.
