🌱 Don't miss this ETUI conference bringing together researchers, trade union leaders, and European policymakers to explore how #JustTransition commitments are translated into concrete policies, and how workers and trade unions can shape their outcomes. 📅 24 February 🔗 Register here: etui.org/4ZJ

🚫👻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! #timetoact #limitsubcontracting

I don’t know. Please tell me

Protest at the EU parliament by trade unions representing workers in sectors where subcontracting operates. The trade unions are seeking a legally binding Directive to be passed so that the subcontracting chain is limited to one and other changes

🔴The Quality Jobs Act announced today by President von der Leyen must meet the urgency of the situation facing working people Trade unions have clear tests and, having waited so long for action, will not settle for half measures #SOTEU25 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

✊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.

🤔 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.

🔴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 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

📚 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. 👉 Read more: www.epsu.org/newsletter/a...

Countdown: one week to go for the State of the European Union speech 2025. Working people are the foundation of Europe. Yet today, their future is under threat. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu here's what is needed, check out the letter from our General Secretary @estherlynch.bsky.social ⤵️

📣 French unions are standing up against the #Bayrou budget! ❌ Wage freezes ❌ Elimination of 2 public holidays ❌ Cuts to public services Brutal. Unfair. Unacceptable. ✊🏾 EPSU stands in #solidarité with your nation-wide mobilisation on 18 September!

More than 1 million hectares burned this summer. Yet firefighter numbers across Europe remain woefully low. 🔥 Read our joint call with @etuc-ces.bsky.social for investment in staffing, prevention & civil protection on Euronews👇🏾

🌡️📢 A new UN report backs our key demand for mandatory workplace heat risk assessments. Extreme heat is a workplace hazard — and it’s time employers treated it that way.

European trade union federations, including EPSU and @etuc-ces.bsky.social, have written to the EU demanding decisive action on Gaza. Words are not enough. The EU must act to uphold human rights and international law. Read the letter ⬇️ www.epsu.org/article/euro...
