The Project:

The European network for the fair sharing of working time, initiated by ATTAC (Germany – Group Arbeitfairteilen) and Collectif Roosevelt (France), is an informal structure open to representatives of organisations, experts and activists. The network gathers multiple organizations including trade unions, NGOs, citizen movements, scientists, policy makers, or members of the European parliament from 12 countries: France, Germany, Belgium, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Poland.

The main objective of the network is to create a permanent and open forum between structured initiatives for the sharing of working time across Europe. Between 2016 and 2020, the network has organized several events in Brussels in cooperation with Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (RLS) to create a common European space:

  • to strengthen a European dynamic on working time reduction;
  • to create links between the national movements promoting working time reduction in Europe (networking);
  • to share information and to provide regular updates on the national dynamics;
  • to share experiences and ideas between those initiatives.

For 2021 the objective of the network is to continue with the European letter of information to intensify the sharing of information between the conferences and to continue to open the network to more organizations from more countries.
