OECD Economic Outlook: Trade unions slam latest deregulation push - TUAC
The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is the interface for trade unions with the Organisation and its members.
Trade unions slam latest deregulation push in @oecd-ocde.bsky.social Economic Outlook. @tuac.bsky.social TUAC strongly contests the OECD’s push for deregulation, warning that weakening worker protections will not drive innovation and risks increasing inequality. tuac.org/news/oecd-ec...

Eén ding is al zeker: 2025 wordt een historisch stakingsjaar. In die zin is het sociaal protest tegen de plannen van De Wever vergelijkbaar met het protest tegen het Globaal Plan (1993) van Dehaene I @vakbondabvv.bsky.social @hetacv.bsky.social @aclvb.bsky.social

🪧 Sociaal overleg: richting noorden of zuiden?
Opiniemakers willen richting een noord-europees sociaal overleg model én stellen voor om de macht van de vakbond aan te pakken
Dat duwt het Belgische model richting het zuiden, niet het noorden.
Kom dan niet klagen over een staking! 🤷♀️

Deze regering kiest voor de makkelijke weg: besparen op wie en wat werkt
De regering schrapt de tijdelijke RSZ-korting op arbeidsduurvermindering. Minder werken is nochtans geen geitenwollensokkendroom, schrijft Lieveke Norga, je vermijdt ermee dat nog meer mensen langdurig ziek worden.

Toevallig of niet, maar vandaag zijn de cijfers voor het aantal #stakingsdagen in het eerste semester van 2025 bekendgemaakt: 792.847 of voorlopig 185 stakingsdagen per 1.000 werknemers. De regering-De Wever lijkt daarmee op weg om het stakingsrecord van de regering-Dehaene I te breken.
