Today on #World Decent Day, we’re standing up for workers and our planet. The #Omnibus is speeding ahead, but it’s headed the wrong way. Let’s hit the brakes before social economic and environmental progress goes off a cliff. 📽️Watch! youtu.be/ro9knVQb_Ng

🇮🇹 "Despite widely reported tragedies, #Italy ’s agricultural sector remains heavily reliant on the invisible and severely exploited labour of thousands of undocumented workers. This situation is sustained by deliberate political choices". www.equaltimes.org/how-many-mor...

📢 Today in Brussels! EFFAT joins @etuc-ces.bsky.social @etf-europe.bsky.social & @efbww.bsky.social in the @europarl.europa.eu for: ❌“No more exploitation: Regulating subcontracting & labour intermediation in Europe”. EFFAT #TNCConference in Barcelona reiterates our call to #EndAbuse

#EFFAT is sending our warmest greetings to @3f.dk on the occasion of our Danish member’s 7th Congress in Aalborg. We look forward to the outcomes of the upcoming debates for the strengthening of workers’ rights and solidarity. www.3f.dk/kongres2025

🍽️ Behind the food on our plate lie frequent labour abuses. 🎬 Tonight in Brussels, #BackToTheFuture screens @thepickers.org documentary, followed by a debate with EFFAT agriculture secretary Ivan Ivanov. A not to miss opportunity to hear our demands for a fairer #CAP post-2027. Don’t miss it!

📸Images from #SE Council in Zagreb 🌍 Our affiliates met to strengthen cooperation, solidarity, and synergies across the region. 💡Focus was on campaigns, collective bargaining, the Minimum Wage Directive, #TNCs, candidate countries, and mobilisations on #subcontracting, #CAP & #publicprocurement.

Last week @europarl.europa.eu voted for better public procurement rules: a step forward, but we warn that binding #SocialConditionality must be the guiding principle of the upcoming revision so that public money stops fuelling the current race to the bottom. EFFAT view: effat.org/in-the-spotl...

This week the @europarl.europa.eu set its position on the future #CAP. EFFAT warns: the CAP proposal risks undermining labour rights, social progress, and fair competition. CAP must raise labour standards, not finance violations. Our recent op-ed explains exactly why. table.media/agrifood/tab...

This week EFFAT featured among 470 signatories of a clear message to the EU, ahead of #SOTEU: Don't weaken the rules to protect working people and planet.

EFFAT visits Manifattura Sigaro Toscano in Lucca today for our Tobacco project launch. 2-day workshop starts today: Exploring the Italian reality, small producers, workers' voices, and EU legislation on the pipeline!

As @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu is about to deliver her #SOTEU, EFFAT’s call is simple: put peace, working people, and the planet before narrow interests. Is coherence with Europe’s own founding principles too much to ask? Read our demands: t.ly/wpTyW

EFFAT joined @efjeurope.bsky.social at Mont des Arts #Brussels today to honour the 246 journalists killed in #Gaza since Oct 7th and demanded to #stopkillingjournalists. Yesterday’s nth targeting of civilians and press shows the unbearable cost of silence.

❌ Unfair. Unbalanced. Unsustainable. The EU-US trade framework is a setback for agriculture and workers in the EFFAT sectors. 👉 Our response: effat.org/featured/eu-...

🚨 European trade unions urge the EU to act on #Gaza. Together with 8 ETUFs and @etuc-ces.bsky.social, we’ve written to EU High Representative @kajakallas.bsky.social calling for decisive measures to stop the humanitarian disaster & defend human rights. Read the letter 👉 effat.org/featured/361...

🧵On 3 July, with a delegation of Members of the European Parliament, @ec.europa.eu and trade unionists from @effat.org @etuc-ces.bsky.social and Flai-CGIL, I visited #BorgoMezzanone, a shanty town near Foggia (Italy) in which fb.watch/A_x9rAG4Bq/

🚨 A new day for CAP? Not quite yet… While #SocialConditionality is safeguarded – but rebranded as “farm stewardship” – it brings no further social progress. ⚠️ Small farms exempt from checks ⚠️ Weaker enforcement ⚠️ No new protections for workers ⚠️ Another budget cut 🔗 Our reaction: wp.me/paPMJb-9ow

@ilsecoloxix.bsky.social interviews @enricosomaeffat.bsky.social, EFFAT's General Secretary, on the implications of the #CAP reform: from budget cuts and the creation of a Single Fund to the risks it poses for agricultural workers across Europe.

Every worker in Europe deserves a decent day at work, a fair day's pay. No worker should have to be forced to live in conditions that workers here are forced to live in. EU must act over scandal of farm workers living in shacks: www.etuc.org/en/pressrele... @effat.org

Thousands of agricultural workers are living in slum conditions while working for employers in receipt of EU farming subsidies, a delegation of trade unionists and MEPs found during a visit to Italy. "Europe can afford to do better, it must do better!" @estherlynch.bsky.social @effat.org

🍺AB InBev records strong Q1 profits—but at what cost? Unsafe conditions, temp jobs replacing retirees, and union pushback are rising. Workers suffer while execs cash in. This isn’t just irresponsible—it’s dangerous. EFFAT affiliates release joint statement: effat.org/wp-content/u...

#RulesToProtect: Where's the proof that removing the right of a victim from corporate abuse to claim justice will relaunch EU #competitiveness? The idea that protecting human rights and the environment is a burden rather than a baseline is a false narrative - said @enricosomaeffat.bsky.social

‪✊Solidarity w/ Spanish sugar workers as AB Foods plans layoffs for 251 workers. 🫰This is a profitable company making workers pay for corporate decisions. More job cuts = More rural decline. @ugtfica.bsky.social @ccoo.bsky.social vivajerez.es/jerez-econom...

🗣️ “Rights don’t fall from the sky — they must be defended every single day.” At FAI CISL's Congress, EFFAT General Secretary @enricosomaeffat.bsky.social brought solidarity from 121 affiliates across 41 countries and warned: social rights are under attack. 🧵 1/4

EFFAT supports @etuc-ces.bsky.social critical stance on the @ec.europa.eu 'Startup and Scaleup Strategy', which threatens workers' rights under the guise of boosting competitiveness — a risky move towards creating a 28th regime.

¡Enhorabuena! Congratulations to Ramón González Monroy on being elected the new @ccoo-servicios.es Secretary General! Looking forward to our future joint work. A heartfelt thank you to outgoing Secretary General José María Martínez for your leadership and the valuable cooperation with EFFAT
