"Thank you for that response, even if it was not quite the one I wanted. Surely, this is not a matter that needs 25 countries to act individually; it is a very serious issue.
Our relations with the United States are not just about trade and businesses making money and, equally, this is not just a United States issue, nor one solely concerning American citizens, as there are a good number of Europeans teaching at these American institutions. Now I understand that the provost of Columbia University in New York has issued instructions on how he would like graduate teachers dealt with and punished.
I would say to the presidency, in solidarity and in defence of international labour law, that we should not remain silent on this and we should not just stand aside and allow a flagrant abuse of workers’ rights. Although this is happening in the United States, it could also be affecting European citizens. I would urge him to go back and see what more can be done."@en1
