Key actions

At the heart of the TRACE project are a series of Key Actions, piloted by partners from European Industry Federations and from national trade union confederations. The Key Actions address different aspects of industrial restructuring, including:
  • Identifying significant trends within key industrial sector
  • Developing new approaches to the provision of training and retraining and improving employability
  • Improving communication and co-ordination within European Works Councils and with other bodies with worker representation operating at European level
  • Examining the impact of restructuring on the local/regional economy and exploring innovative mechanisms of collaboration with other actors at this level
  • Exploring possible implications of EU enlargement for economic restructuring and company relocation
  • Exploring major structural changes in the public sector in areas such as education, health and central and local government
  • Improving understanding of legal and regulatory frameworks and social policy at both European and national levels and their impact on restructuring situations
  • Formulating strategies for social dialogue and collaborative action with other actors in restructuring contexts
  • Redesigning trade union practices to match a changing economic landscape.
