Zeitraum: 01/2009 - 09/2009
Status: abgeschlossen
ProjektmitarbeiterInnen: Bettina Haidinger
AuftraggeberIn: European Commission, DG Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities
Kooperation: Working Lives Research Institute London (WLRI)

The project consists of a pan-Europe (35-country) mapping exercise of what is happening in the area of trade union responses to discrimination. In each of five areas of discrimination in which the EU has acted – racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, age, disability or sexual orientation – the ways in which the unions in each country have been attempting to combat discrimination will be subject of the research. FORBA will carry out the Austrian part of the mapping study.
