European Alliance for Arts and Entertainment

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Arts and Entertainment Alliance / EAEA is one of the European trade union federations . It organizes around 300,000 members from around 135 individual trade unions in 27 countries. It is the European branch of the International Alliance for Arts and Entertainment / IAEA.

structure

The EAEA, founded in 2001, differs from other European trade union federations (EGV) in that it is composed of the European groups of three international trade union federations, which often appear independently of one another in the external area: the European group of the International Federation of Musicians (IFM), the Euro- FIA of the International Federation of Actors FIA and the Media, Entertainment & Art / EURO-MEI sector of UNI-Europa . The statutes of the EAEA are almost identical to those of the IAEA; the governing bodies also correspond to their structure.

European activities

The EU stage and life sector employed around 1.2 million people in 2014. The EAEA and its social partner, the employers' association PEARLE ( Performing Arts Employers Associations League Europe ) are involved in the sectoral European dialogue in the field of performing arts. The goals of the EAEA correspond to those of the IAEA: curbing bogus self-employment in the media, art and entertainment sectors, increasing the level of organization and concluding collective instead of individual (framework) contracts to regulate wages and working conditions, including for the self-employed.
