Austria: trade unions back campaign for better financing of local government services

http://www.epsu.org/a/8284 Over 140 mayors from across the political spectrum have signed up to a campaign for improved funding of local government services. The campaign is calling for a re-negotiation of the federal Austrian financial distribution system, which the national government plans to undertake in 2013. By doing this, the various groups in the ‘Communal Resolution Campaign’ want to promote a new type of dialogue and alliance-building between trade unions, civil society, local politicians and communal political bodies. - Advice EPSU www.epsu.org
