News German water workers concerned about future of water services

Several hundred trade union and works council representatives of Germany’s water companies organized a demonstration to demand that water is taken out of the concessions directive. The German government and the EU Commission were demanded to be clear about declaring water a human right.

Representatives of other partners in support of the ECI joined as well. EPSU was represented by the Deputy General Secretary.

The demo was supported by Ver.di. It took place 14 May 2013, Berlin.
