Abstract
“Is precarity the only vision for the future?”: this question was posed to the participants at the end of a major three-day conference, 24–26 September 2014, on the theme “Europe at crossroads” organized in Brussels by the European Trade Union Confederation ETUC and its scientific institute of reference, ETUI, just in the politically critical stage of formation of the new European Commission, following the European Parliament elections, which took place in May 2014.
