"This country fiche has been realised within the framework of the BargainUp (Bargaining Upfront in the Digital Age) project (VS/2019/0280), co-financed by the European Commission. The project is led by the Italian metalworkers' organisation FIM-CISL, in partnership with the trade unions ACV-CSC Metea, IF Metall and UGT-FICA, respectively from Belgium, Sweden and Spain, the Workers' Education and Training College (WETCO) of the Bulgarian trade union confederation CITUB, the Italian research centre ADAPT, the Luleå University of Technology (Sweden), the Technic University of Cartagena (Spain), the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium) and the Office of Cooperation between the Ruhr University of Bochum and IG Metall (Germany). This country fiche has been developed thanks to a desk research, seven interviews with national trade unionists, conducted in April 2020, and seven focus groups with 60 worker representatives, organised in February and March 2019.
