The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) on Monday called for the United Kingdom to remain within the European single market and customs union after its exit from the European Union in order to safeguard the rights of both British and EU workers.

As Wednesday's triggering of Article 50 gets closer and the launch of a two-year period of negotiations on the UK's exit from the bloc and future relationship with the EU, the ETUC called on the European Council to issue guidelines that "guarantee that workers will not be used as bargaining chips."
