EUROPEAN TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION

The European Trade Union Confederation, was set a up to promote the interest of working people at the European level and to represent them in the European union institutions.

The ETUC membership comprises 82 National Trade Union Confederations from a total of 36 European countries, and 12 European industry federations, covering some 60 million trade unionists.

Its mission is to create an united Europe, where there is a peace and stability, and where workers and their families are respected human rights, civil, social and employement.

I think that is very important that exist entities of this type, because they help to generate an important stability inside the countries, because it guard over the safety and hapiness of their citizens in all the areas (family, as a workers, etc), which will lead to a very important economic growth.

SORRY DAY

Say sorry is not enough after all the years that the aborigines in australia were abused.

The children were separated from their mothers to be educated as the european wanted, just because they wanted to inculcate their values and work habits. Also to end with their cultures and ''blood'', europeans wanted that children behave like them, and put aside the culture in which they were born.

I think that now days is not useful to say sorry, because the damage was caused, and all the sadness felt by those families to be separated is not going to heal only asking for forgiveness.

When mistakes are committed the best way to repairing them is not committed again, so I thing that is very important that we learn to be respectful with the other, accepting him like he is, without discrimination in issues like color, culture, religion, etc.
