πŸš«πŸ‘»We are deconstructing some of the myths that are being used to create the idea that no change to the rules on subcontracting is necessary.

Limiting subcontracting chains is necessary and urgent.⛓️

⏰It's time to act!

πŸ”΄The Quality Jobs Act announced today by President von der Leyen must meet the urgency of the situation facing working people

✊We join Spanish trade unions and working people in their mobilisation today to demand that the legislation to reduce weekly working hours proceed and be adopted.

It would be inacceptable to stop the debate on a bill that would substantially improve the lives of more than 12 million workers.

πŸ€” Will @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu guarantee a just transition leaving no one behind in #SOTEU?

So far, too many EU policies prioritise profits over people. A real just transition means protecting workers, investing in communities & making sure no one is left out.

πŸ”΄An official EU poll shows there's a stark disconnect between the Commission's priorities and people’s needs

The public's priorities are better pay, jobs and public services - not deregulation. Next week's State of the Union speech must deliver on these priorities

πŸ“š Back to school, back in action!

From hospitals in Brussels to schools in Ireland, public service workers across Europe are striking for fair pay, safe staffing and dignity at work. Austerity and deregulation aren’t the answer. The future is public.

πŸ“£ French unions are standing up against the #Bayrou budget!

❌ Wage freezes
❌ Elimination of 2 public holidays
❌ Cuts to public services

Brutal. Unfair. Unacceptable.
