#ICEOUTNOW
💧Our co‑rapporteur Hervé Jeannin took part in the High‑Level Preparatory Meeting in Senegal, laying the groundwork for the EESC opinion contributing to #UNWC2026.
We are committed to supporting global efforts toward #WaterResilience, guided by the principles of #EUBlueDeal.
Meanwhile, we're being constantly bombarded into lowering #consumer, #labour, #environmental and #privacy protections so we can close the '#productivity gap' with the US.

Join us today in saying #WeRemember, and honour the memory of the six million Jewish victims, and of all those whose lives were destroyed by Nazi ideology and violence.

Quel est le coût réel de l’inaction ?#TransitionJuste

Yesterday, the European Parliament backed a Just Transition Directive.
At our group meeting today, MEP Toom Jana said she’s optimistic about a legislative proposal, but pressure must continue.
We need a legislative proposal on #JustTransition now.
What's the real cost of the #JustTransition? Inaction.
A new @workers-eesc.bsky.social study shows that inaction leads to job losses, regional decline & growing inequality while a strong Just Transition framework protects workers.

BREAKING: European Parliament backs a Just Transition Directive ✅
The EU must equip itself with strong tools to anticipate & manage change while building cohesion.
Its for workers like Rainer that the Commission must now move ahead with a Just Transition Directive as part of the Quality Jobs Act.
✊ Our full solidarity with French trade unions and workers in their fight to defend 1 May as a mandatory paid, non-working public holiday.
1 May is not an ordinary holiday. It commemorates more than a century of social struggles for workers’ rights.

🗳️ 🚨 Ahead of tomorrow’s plenary vote in the @europarl.europa.eu , voices from across European industry and workers are united in calling for support for the Just Transition Directive.

During the last decade, house prices in the EU increased by 63.6% and rents by 21.1%, while wages lag behind. Workers are being priced out of their own communities.
Housing is a right! Europe must act fast.
The #AIAct rightly flags AI & #AlgorithmicManagement as high-risk, but stronger EU regulation is still needed to protect workers’ rights.

We stand in full solidarity with Italian workers and the CGIL as they take action today in a general strike.
Workers can't continue to pay the highest price for budget cuts and tax rises, while public services, wages, pensions and prospects for young people deteriorate.
Today, Portuguese workers and trade unions are taking to the streets and going on a General Strike to protest the 🇵🇹 government's proposed labour law reform.
We stand in full solidarity with them in their fight for fairness and the protection of their labour rights. ✊
On #HumanRightsDay, a reminder:
Human rights are not a commodity. Not negotiable. Not for sale.
Not even to billionaires.
We stand in full solidarity with @cgt.fr and their secretary general, Sophie Binet, indicted for “public insults” after a media intervention.
This worrying case shows attempts to silence union voices.
We stand with her✊

Persons with disabilities still face higher poverty rates, discrimination at work and gaps in social protection.
On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we call to build societies where everyone can participate, work and thrive.
#Slavery is not just a grim memory.
#ModernSlavery counts more than 50 million people around the world: #HumanTrafficking, #Forcedlabour and more.
Unaccountable global #SupplyChains and toothless #DueDilligence do little to help it.
We can end this.
