Vocabulary for trade union work

 

(English - German / German - English / German - French / French - German)

 

Without language skills European trade union work is very difficult. Trade union terminology is a special language. It cannot be found in any standard dictionary. For small talk at international conferences, EWC meetings or cross-border workshops, English or French as learned in school might be sufficient, however to understand lectures or discussions on substantive issues, a special vocabulary is needed.

 

The Institute of the European Trade Union Confederation provides some dictionaries for trade union work.

 

They can be ordered as a booklet here
