Romain Wolff and Klaus Heeger were re-elected President and Secretary General of the European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI) at its Congress held today in Brussels.

As a recognised European social partner organisation and EU level interest group, CESI represents more than 6 million workers from over 40 trade union organisations across Europe.

Both were elected by overwhelming majorities. Klaus Heeger enters his 5^th term, having served as Secretary General since 2011 and having been re-elected in 2012, 2016 and 2020. Romain Wolff, who is also President of the Luxembourgish civil service trade union CGFP, has been President of CESI since 2012.

Following a welcome address by European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu this morning, guest speakers including EESC President Oliver Röpke, European Parliament Vice-President Victor Negrescu, European Parliament Employment Committee Chair Li Andersson and former Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights Nicolas Schmit will address keynotes to the Congress later today.
