The European Trade Union Institute - ETUI organized a very stimulating discussion on trade union renewal during the 2023 ETUC congress. In the panel discussion, CELSI's Managing Director Marta Kahancová called for more trade union involvement in just transition processes as a renewal opportunity at various levels: unions co-determining just transition policies, expanding themes in collective bargaining, and supporting individual workers in their reskilling.

Based on extensive literature review, the report presents benefits but also criticism of multi-employer bargaining, its preconditions and overall impact on the society, as well as ways forward for trade unions to support and develop multi-employer bargaining. The report has been prepared in partnership with the WageIndicator Foundation, commissioned by UNI Europa and financially supported by the European Union.
