This week we interviewed Jan Willem Goudriaan, General Secretary of the European Public Service Union (EPSU).

EPSU brings together trade unions from across Europe. It influences the policies and decisions of employers, governments and European institutions that affect public service workers, their families and communities. It mobilises for action and change and is committed to achieving another, social Europe.

EPSU represents 8 million public service workers across Europe and is the European region of the global public services federation PSI and is also a member of the European Trade Union Confederation.

In this interview we talked with Jan Willem about the fight against fascism in Europe today, solidarity with Ukraine, the struggle to support the embattled unions in Belarus, and finally the danger of a return to austerity in Europe.
