Mission Statement
The European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) represents 8 million public service workers across Europe. We are the strong trade union voice that workers need, whether that’s with employers, the European Parliament, the Commission or national governments.
EPSU is the European region of the global public services federation PSI and is also a member of the European Trade Union Confederation.
EPSU works hard to deliver better working conditions, improved health and safety and enhanced rights for our members. By sitting down with employers at a European level, we negotiate best practice agreements that improve the working lives of public service workers and ensure quality services for citizens.

Our campaign pledge
MSDs represent the most widespread and persistent health risk for workers in health and social services. Together with our social partners HOSPEEM and SocialEmployers we bring significant expertise on MSDs in the health and social services sectors that can complement the technical knowledge of OSHA to our mutual benefit. Together with our affiliates we will organise activities to pursue our shared priorities and, on a European and national level, push for better protection of workers on their workplace.
Jan Willem GOUDRIAAN
Secretary General
“MSDs represent the most widespread and persistent health risk for workers in health and social services. Tackling them is a priority for trade unions. Together with our social partners and the EU OSHA, EPSU is looking forward to share and develop innovative practices and push the EU to adopt better protection of workers.”
