Public procurement has a key role to play in strengthening collective bargaining.<\/p>\n<p>A crucial opportunity presents itself to lead the way towards solutions in this regard. A key priority for UNI Europa is to mainstream its campaign to ensure &#8216;no public contract without collective agreement&#8217; across the European trade union movement.<\/p>\n<p>Using public procurement to expand collective bargaining was a prominent theme during the ETUC Congress.
