The European Public Services Union (EPSU) and Public Services International (PSI) have recently launched a new online training tool to support trade union members in understanding concepts, opportunities, challenges and processes around remunicipalisation.

Remunicipalisation is the process of bringing privatised services back into public control.  
 
The toolkit includes detailed information, case studies, video, infographics and a Q&A. You can access it here.
 
This e-learning tool is an on-demand resource for trade unionists who are interested in starting a campaign to bring public services back into public hands.

Fórsa national secretary Richy Carrothers was a member of the Steering Committee that developed the toolkit. Speaking at the European launch of the toolkit Richy said:

“This toolkit is a welcome contribution to the global fight for remunicipalisation. We fundamentally believe that public services should be delivered by public servants.” 

Richy continued: “By empowering trade union members to campaign for the restoration of public control of public services our unions will build power locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.”

Ahead of the local and European elections on 7th June 2024 Fórsa will use the toolkit to raise awareness among election candidates and political parties of the importance of remunicipalisation, a central political objective for the union.

There’s never been a better time to join a union, and it’s never been easier. Join Fórsa today.
