TUAC Statement to the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting, Paris, 29-30 May 2013
15/05/2013
The stakes are high for OECD countries and the OECD as the financial and economic crisis has now been transformed into a social and political crisis. Two decades of rising inequality have led to a weakening of the social contract and a breakdown of trust in many countries. Governments must give a message of hope that policies, not just words, will change so as to create jobs, reduce inequality and restore trust.
