- The UGT and CCOO are taking part in the process to create a new cooperation agenda in Spain beyond 2015 and the Millennium Development Goals, in their capacity as members of the Development Cooperation Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. The two trade union centres drew up a joint position arguing that the current cooperation paradigm should be changed and based on the principles of sustainability, democratic ownership and governance; a cooperation model that promotes social inclusion, decent work and livelihoods for workers, based on respect for and the protection of human rights. The workers’ organisations, in line with the positions of the international trade union movement and the International Labour Organisation, will continue to work for the introduction of new objectives in the development agenda aimed at securing a universal social protection floor, full employment and decent work.
