There could hardly be a more interesting and challenging time to work in Brussels on European economic policy issues, in an international, multidisciplinary team. @ETUI_org has an exciting opening for an economist. 👇 etui.org/about-etui/ten…

🏳️‍🌈 Solidarity is our strength.
💪 Workers’ rights = Human rights = LGBTQI+ rights. We will not be silenced. We will not be divided.
We will keep marching — until everyone is free. #BudapestPride #SolidarityForever #UnionsForEquality #LoveIsNotACrime #PrideIsResistance

As trade unions, we know that dignity, equality, and freedom are not negotiable — they are the foundation of a just society. We stand up for every person’s right to live without fear, discrimination, or hate — in the workplace and in the world. A fight of one, is a fight of all.

🌈✊ We Marched for Pride, Despite the Ban 🇭🇺🚫 Today, we proudly stood side by side with the LGBTQI+ community at the ‘forbidden’ Pride parade in Budapest. In the face of government attempts to silence and divide, we chose solidarity, visibility, and courage. @etuc_ces

All eyes on ⁦@Europarl_EN⁩ now!! @TheProgressives @Left_EU @EPP @GreensEFA Following #EPSCO it is clear that the Parliament must now step in to provide the European vision that national governments have failed to offer. etuc.org/en/node/25554 etuc.org/en/node/25554

On the 3rd day of the @ilo 113 session of the International Labour conference in Geneva we have just confirmed there will be an international instrument in the form of convention supplemented by recommendations and in the next 10 days we will negotiate its content. #PlatformWork

We will have the ILO Convention on Platform work. 🚩✊ After the EU Directive, the Globe is moving towards the binding regulation that will protect platform workers against exploitation and bossing by algorithmic management. #StopUberisation

Top court in Finland rules Wolt couriers are employees, not self-employed - go.shr.lc/4myGDg4 Platforms must respect the rules, court decisions and soon also the implementation of the Platform work directive. @etuc_ces

-Safe workplaces -Work-life balance -Equality and non-discrimination We call on EC to deliver and propose new legislative initiatives and investments. Let’s deliver quality jobs for every worker in every sector in every region. ✊@etuc_ces

#QualityJobs must include at least: -Collective bargaining -Full respect of workers’ and trade union rights -Fair wages -Job security and opportunities for career progression -Strong social protection system -Free training, during the working time -Decent working conditions

Trade union delegation fighting for #QualityJobs at the social partners exchange of views with @EU_Commission Executive Vice President @RoxanaMinzatu.

In the next MFF @EU_Commission must ensure strong, reinforced and separate European Social Fund (ESF+) with a significantly increased budget in the 2028-2034 financial framework to protect the most vulnerable and maintain European Social Model.

The European Child Guarantee, established in 2021, aims to prevent and combat social exclusion by ensuring that children in need have effective access to free early childhood education and care, free education, free healthcare, healthy nutrition, and adequate housing.

Conservatives again sided with the far right. With a shameful vote the EPP and far right members of the @Europarl_EN refused to secure the funding for a European Child Guarantee, a key tool in combating child poverty. @etuc_ces @MaritMaij @gabischoff

Platforms has been using and abusing platform workers in various way, even stealing their tips. It’s time for them to pay and give workers what they deserve! DoorDash has to Pay $16.8 Million to Workers for Pocketing Their Tips. ⁦@etuc_ces⁩ nytimes.com/2025/02/24/nyr…

What young people want from EU? Social justice! A new poll showing young people want the EU to prioritise action to address the cost-of-living, jobs and training demonstrates why the European Commission needs to deliver the traineeship directive. ⁦ etuc.org/en/pressreleas…

Luxembourg’s government is attacking the rights of the trade unions. I’ve joined the first action of the @OGBL_Luxembourg and the @LCGB_Luxembourg in the fight for collective bargaining and for the prerogative of the trade unions. ✊@etuc_ces

✊etuc_ces stresses the vital role of quality jobs and public services in reducing inequalities and supporting those distant from the labour market. @EUCouncil has highlighted the need for cohesion and inclusion, with a focus on Roma integration and territorial policies.

✊ @EUCouncil on labour shortages highlights that low-quality jobs are more affected by shortages and calls for tailored strategies for inactive groups. @etuc_ces urges caution as @EUCouncil also embraces a business-centric focus and pushing older workers to delay retirement.

Updates from yesterday’s EPSCO Council from unionists view: @EUCouncil urges action on fostering inclusion for workers with disabilities. ✊ @etuc_ces calls for turning guidelines on reasonable accommodation into binding obligations to ensure equal rights across EU workplaces!
