@workers-eesc.bsky.social
The Workers' Group of @eesc.bsky.social is composed of representatives from national trade unions, confederations, and sectoral federations, bringing together members from over 80 trade union organisations.
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.

🟣 On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we recall that violence is not part of the job.
We have a toolkit to be used by negotiators during collective bargaining negotiations with good practices for preventing and combating violence at work.

1 in 3 women in the EU have experienced physical violence, sexual violence or threats.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we demand safety, justice and dignity for every woman.
Today, we call for action.
Tomorrow, we make it happen.
Freeze on salary indexation, pensions cut, social protections under attack. Enough is enough.
Full solidarity with the Belgian trade unions striking on 24, 25 and 26 November. ✊🇧🇪

In-work poverty sharply increased during the crisis, and after almost twenty years, it is only slightly lower than it was in 2008.
On #EndPovertyDay, we call on EU Member States to fully implement the European Pillar of Social Rights!

European workers are not all on equal time.
Some clock hundreds more hours a year than others, often for less pay.
Time to deliver work-life balance for all European workers .
