EUROFER works with a range of stakeholders, including its steel-producing members, trade unions and policy makers on social topics.

Social dialogue is vital to the sustainability and success of the sector, because it is the employees and workers in the sector that make the steel industry what it is. Some 330,000 people work directly for the steel industry. 2.6 million jobs, in total, depend on the sector.

This is why ensuring there is a sufficient skills base is so important - as is continuing an open and transparent dialogue with employees already working within, or around, the sector.
