Today is an important moment for the USI in the building of real opposition to the austerity that is being imposed by the IMF-ECB and EU... which workers and citizens have been opposing for months in various European countries. For this reason the USI is organizing a new meeting of the Network in Rome, which will be a unique opportunity for labour activists within alternative syndicalism to meet comrades who, on an international level, are building opposition and social conflict against the plans of capital.

The meeting of the European Network of Alternative and Grassroots Syndicalism will take place in Rome on 26 and 27 January 2013 in the CUB premises at Via Ponzio Cominio 56, reachable by Metro line A (get off at Lucio Sestio).

The meeting will see the participation of the Spanish CGT, Solidaridad Obrera, also from Spain, a Catalonian union, Solidaires from France, the French CNT, SUD from Switzerland, TIE from Germany and hopefully the ESE from Greece.

For this occasion the three Italian unions which are members of the Network (CUB, CIB Unicobas and the USI) have prepared a joint document and will be proposing a joint day of action to be held on May Day.

The USI will also be proposing a European conference on the theme of Education in late June, preferably in Rome.
