Tous ensemble pour dire NON à la déréglementation et OUI aux droits humains. Les marches depuis Roubaix où participe actuellement notre secrétaire générale adjointe Isabelle Schömann & depuis Maastricht ont entamé! On se retrouvera à Bruxelles ce 23/9 pour manifester ensemble #Backtothefuture

HAPPENING NOW: @estherlynch.bsky.social is outlining workers' priorities to EU leaders today at the #PortoSocialForum. Real rights you can rely on, security you can count on, wages you can live on. That's what we're standing for.

Europe must make a positive difference in people’s daily lives. That starts with action to ensure all jobs are quality jobs. At the #PortoSocialForum today, trade union leaders are delivering that message directly to EU decision-makers. #SocialEurope #Jobs

La CES est solidaire avec ses organisations affiliées françaises qui se mobilisent aujourd'hui pour la #JusticeSociale et la #JusticeFiscale. Nous sommes à vos côtés ✊ #18septembre

What happened over the summer in the world of #CollectiveBargaining? ☀️ 🤝 🔺Austria: Collective agreements for freelancers possible from 2026 🔺 France: Unions unite against Government budget plan 🔺 Slovenia: Reduced working hours for older workers Catch up with our newsletter 🔗 etui.org/ZR2

🔴New EU data shows the number of people exposed to heat waves at work has increased by 60% over the last 20 years Workers’ rights must keep pace with climate change - we need a European directive on maximum working temperatures 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Investment not deregulation key to competitive economy At @ec.europa.eu event to mark a year since the publication of #Draghi report on competitiveness, @estherlynch.bsky.social r Lynch called for a shift towards strategic investment for a European industrial policy with quality jobs at its heart

Two Belarusian trade union leaders imprisoned by the country’s authoritarian regime because they spoke up working people have finally been freed Now we call on the EU to secure the release of the 20 others still behind bars - trade unionism is not a crime! 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

The ETUC today joins tributes to the life of Michael Sommer, the former chairman of the @dgb.de and our former vice president He was a principled trade unionist whose contributions laid the groundwork for many of the rights that workers benefit from today 📰 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.

🔴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...

BREAKING🇪🇺: After the European Parliament adopted a report on public procurement today, we call on the Commission to ensure that public money is only given to companies whose workers are covered by collective agreements.

The European Parliament has voted for a report highlighting the “downward pressure" put on working conditions by awarding public contracts to the lowest bidder New rules must ensure public money is only given to companies whose workers benefit from collective agreements www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

🔴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...

EU-Mercosur trade deal: We've warned the @ec.europa.eu that its current proposals would fail to effectively sanction companies for even the gravest violations of workers’ rights.

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 ⤵️

⚠️Record wildfires show need for investments in frontline services "It is scandalous that some countries continue to reduce firefighter numbers just as wildfires grow in size, threatening people’s lives & livelihoods" @estherlynch.bsky.social

Ahead of next month's Porto #SocialForum we're calling for commitments to: 👛 Ensure the Right to #FairWages 👊 Deliver #QualityJobs & End Precarious Work 👨‍💻 Guarantee the Right to Training & a #JustTransition 🟰 Achieve #EqualPay for Work of Equal Value 🔗 Tackle Poverty & Guarantee #SocialProtection

Congratulates Inga Ruginiene on becoming Prime Minister of Lithuania 💐 Her leadership within the European trade union movement has always been focussed on delivering European solutions for the working people of Lithuania, the Baltic region and the whole of Europe.

🌡️📢 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.

Gaza: "Too many journalists have been killed while being on their job, while reporting about the facts that are happening, while telling the truth." @teajarc.bsky.social brings the ETUC's solidarity today @efjeurope.bsky.social action & with every journalist risking their life reporting from Gaza.

We are joining @efjeurope.bsky.social today in the streets and in their call for: ➡️ An independent investigation into the deaths of journalists in Gaza ➡️ Accountability for those responsible for attacks on media workers ➡️ Urgent EU action to ensure the safety of journalists in all conflict zones

🚨 EU-US deal: we're raising concerns on the impact 15% tariffs on most industrial goods would still have on jobs, coupled with the lack of accompanying measures to protect jobs and production in Europe.

Gaza: the European Union’s legal & moral responsibility to act has never been more urgent. Along with 9 European trade union federations, we've sent this letter to @kajakallas.bsky.social calling for immediate action.

The Handala carried aid to Gaza and was intercepted. Its crew - including one of our own - was detained. ETUC & UNI Global Union urge the EU to act in line with its values: ensure safe aid delivery & uphold international law. The humanitarian crisis in #Gaza cannot be ignored. #HumanRights #EUAction

The number of people who can’t afford a week’s holiday despite being in work has risen again by over 1 million in a single year.

"Europe must develop a credible autonomous industrial strategy which secures and strengthens jobs and production in Europe." - @estherlynch.bsky.social. Urgent: @ec.europa.eu must introduce measures to safeguard jobs and incomes.

1/ Our @etuc-ces.bsky.social comments to the so called 🇪🇺🇺🇸deal “There is no escaping the fact that this is an asymmetrical deal in favour of US. That fails to take into account that the US exports billions in financial, tech, and professional services to the EU each year” www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

The EU cannot make working people pay for their failure to stand-up to Donald Trump This deal puts a responsibility on the Commission to introduce measures that protect workers and their industries from the tariffs that it has signed up to 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

🔌 BREAKING: workers are one step closer to having their #RightToDisconnect. The Commission announced it is beginning 2nd stage talks with trade unions & employers on a “potential EU-level initiative to reduce the risks of the ‘always-on' work culture and to ensure fair and quality telework.”

🚨 The European Commission’s new Environmental #Omnibus plan puts over 1 million waste workers at risk. It would mean: ❌ No tracking of toxic substances ❌ Weaker safety reporting ❌ Faster permits with fewer checks 📣 Workers deserve protection — not deregulation. www.epsu.org/article/envi...

Joined the Tesla picket line in Örebro today. The strike is ongoing. Impressive trade union strength. Optimism about reaching a collective agreement soon. 21 months since the start of negotiations. Trade union power🚩💪 Solidarity @etuc-ces.bsky.social @ifmetall.bsky.social

💶The ECB is wrong to cite trade disputes as a reason to freeze interest rates In the face of US protectionism undermining demand for European exports, the best way to protect European workers would have been to help revive domestic demand by cutting interest rates www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

The time for vaguely-worded warnings over the atrocities taking place in Gaza is long gone. The urgency of the situation requires action The ETUC calls for the @ec.europa.eu to advance sanctions, including the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

15% of working people in the EU — around 42 million individuals — cannot afford a one-week holiday away from home We need to stop growing inequality and re-balance the economy by cutting public funding for companies which don't respect collective bargaining www.euronews.com/business/202...

Bulgaria: "Instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue, the authorities responded with excessive police presence, intimidation of participants & the violent detention of a trade union leader" Full solidarity with Todor Kapitanov & CITUB following state repression of forestry workers' demonstration.

EU budget: workers must not be short-changed, EU lawmakers must ensure adequate resources are ringfenced for real social objectives, that will improve conditions for working people. www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

🔥 When firefighters are understaffed 🚑 Emergency services are slashed by budget cuts, 🏥 Hospitals can’t cope due to chronic understaffing and lack of funding... …people aren’t just victims of the climate crisis — they’re victims of austerity. We need quality public services - #NoToAusterity!

BREAKING: The European Parliament’s Employment Committee decided to maintain the Amazon lobby ban and reject a closed-door hearing with Amazon representatives. It also committed to holding another hearing and organise a visit to Amazon warehouses.

After more than three weeks of an intense and courageous occupational strike, the basic trade union organisation at GeLiMa in Slovakia has reached a meaningful and fair agreement with the employer. Our thanks also go to @etuc-ces.bsky.social for its consistent support of our member organisations.

EU budget - word of warning to Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu: No amount of rebranding will convince workers – we need to see an European Social Fund with real commitments with objectives matched by guaranteed funding. #MFF

"I want to send a clear message to the Berlaymont: working people are sick of politicians trying to pull the wool over their eyes – they must restore the #ESF+ in full." [email protected] The @ec.europa.eu must not betray its promise to keep social fund. www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

At least 700.000 jobs will be put at risk in Europe if Trump imposes blanket tariffs of 20% on the EU The EU must not allow itself to be bullied. We are calling for the EU to take decisive and immediate action to protect jobs and production in Europe 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Measures to combat forms of greedflation in Europe foreseen as transatlantic trade crisis worsens, specifically "safeguarding incomes" and efforts "to control profiteering and if necessary limit increases to prices of essentials." Seems right. @etuc-ces.bsky.social @isabellamweber.bsky.social

🔴A new analysis shows 41.5 million workers can't afford a holiday - an increase of more than million in a single year 15% of all working people in Europe are now missing out on a break while CEOs sun themselves in luxury resorts www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

⚠️The European Commission wants to make it easier for companies to use dangerous chemicals in products like cosmetics and fertilisers That will put factory workers, farmers and hairdressers - and the public - at a higher risk of cancer 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

"The treatment of migrant workers can only be classed as organised exploitation. Abuse is the business model and it goes all the way to the top" Today @estherlynch.bsky.social challenged a meeting of EU labour ministers to stop the exploitation of migrant workers 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

"Fair mobility needs to be ensuring workers have the same rights and entitlements when they come to work in Europe: we know that many migrant workers face exploitation, gangmasters, wage theft, unsafe working conditions: this needs to stop." @estherlynch.bsky.social at ‪@eu2025dk.bsky.social EPSCO

Heat-related deaths in the workplace have increased by 42% since 2000 Europe needs maximum working temperatures
