The 13th PERC Summer School took place on 16-17 June by video-conferencing. The PERC School is a discussion forum where trade union leaders and experts can debate issues of common interest. This year, taking into account the COVID-19 provoked crisis, the School focused on global shifts in the world of labour, accelerated by virus-response, and recovery in Europe. Unionists from different countries of the region exchanged about the implications of the COVID-19 crisis and recovery plans and debated common messages as regional contribution to the ILO Tripartite summit planned for July 2020.
