European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI)

Mission Statement

The European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI) is a confederation of more than 40 trade union organisations from across Europe, with a total of more than 5 million individual members. Founded in 1990, CESI advocates decent employment conditions for workers in Europe and a strong social dimension in the EU. CESI and its members are involved in advocacy work as an interest group and in social dialogue as a recognised European social partner.

Our campaign pledge

As a European social partner and an interest group of workers from across Europe, helping to shape the evolving digitalisation of work in a constructive, proactive way is essential for CESI. Digitalisation is a fact and reality, and it is up to all involved stakeholders to manage it in a sustainable manner and to the benefit for all concerned actors. The 2023-25 ‘Safe and healthy work in the digital age’ campaign of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is a key instrument for CESI to further explore challenges that digitalisation can mean for work environments, to assess how digital work can be deployed in safe ways, and to increase awareness, knowledge and expertise among its members on ways in which digital technologies can actually improve occupational health and safety. To this end, the campaign will be an important platform for CESI engage in exchanges of best practices with companies, unions, and further stakeholders from across Europe.
