According to the European Federation of Public Service Unions, one of the European trade union organisations that negotiated the agreement, the deal makes it clear that trainees aren’t a source of cheap labour. The Quality Framework for Traineeships in the European Electricity Sector stipulates that trainees will benefit from collective agreements already in place. It recognises the key role of trade unions in ensuring quality traineeships and strengthens protection for young people starting out in the sector. European trade union IndustriAll added that the deal brings the Sector Social Dialogue Committee to another level of maturity. The unions are determined to promote good working conditions and opportunities for young people in Europe to start a career in the sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Farticle\u002Felectricity-sector-trade-unions-and-employers-sign-landmark-agreement-traineeships\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Farticle\u002Felectricity-sector-trade-unions-and-employers-sign … \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agreement: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Fsites\u002Fdefault\u002Ffiles\u002Farticle\u002Ffiles\u002FPR%202016%2006%2027%20Social%20Partners%20Electricity%20QFT_0.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Fsites\u002Fdefault\u002Ffiles … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
