Hot off the press: Negotiating the Algorithm Our new guide ℹ️ to help workers prevent the abuse of algorithmic management and put the human back in control in their workplaces.

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.

When we protect workers, we don't just do what's right, we do what works. Strong social rights create strong sucessful economies #SocialEurope

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

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

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...

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...

🗣️ Failing to link public procurement to collective bargaining comes at a massive economic cost. Every year, billions are lost in wages and public revenue because contracts go to companies that undercut fair standards. The EU cannot keep rewarding low-road competition" - @estherlynch.bsky.social

@estherlynch.bsky.social, @etuc-ces.bsky.social General Secretary, and @andrewwatteu.bsky.social, ETUI General Director, introduce this year's 'Benchmarking Working Europe' report, a comprehensive analysis of today's #WorldOfWork 📊 🔗 etui.org/ZRc

‼️ @etuc-ces.bsky.social : #US tariffs: #EU must take #emergency measures to #protect #jobs - @estherlynch.bsky.social : "Workers in Europe cannot be made to pay the price for global trade disputes. (..) It is key to stand up to bullies that see compromises as weakness"‼️ www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

“It is clear for all to see that the climate is changing" said @estherlynch.bsky.social. “We urgently need our laws to keep up if we’re going to avoid countless more avoidable deaths every summer" The New York Times covers our call for maximum working temperatures www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/b....

For the first time, a European report puts a price on hashtag#stress at work 🪙 Read it here 🔗 etui.org/ZL5

We urge @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu to deliver a bigger and stronger Multiannual Financial Framework-post 2027. A genuine system of new own resources and joint borrowing that can address the challenges facing Europeans with no cuts in social spending.

With @etuc-ces.bsky.social @estherlynch.bsky.social drawing attention to avoidable deaths due to lack of high quality care Austerity and commercialisation are not the answer. Public funding and investment are. Crucial to address staffing shortages @epsu.bsky.social @tuc.org.uk @nic-ictu.bsky.social

In Europe, nobody should have to hide who they love to feel safe. Pride should never be hidden - it should be celebrated. Together, Europe celebrates it in Budapest with hope and conviction. We’re proud the S&D is represented at the LGBTI intergroup today in Budapest. @marcangel-mep.bsky.social

Massive demonstration in Luxembourg today. We joined workers there in defence of wages, collective bargaining and pensions. Big shout out too to all those at the #BudapestPride, which the Hungarian government attempted to ban. "The working class is there, fighting for their rights"

Today, the ETUC is in the streets. In #Luxembourg we march shoulder to shoulder with workers and their unions to push back against attacks on collective bargaining, on pensions and on working time. #RedCard #FrontSindical

We are in Budapest with thousands of people to protect democracy and human rights @epsu.bsky.social

Nous sommes aux côtés des syndicats & travailleurs luxembourgeois qui manifestent aujourd'hui contre la politique du gouvernement 25000 "non" aux attaques aux salaires, aux pensions et au dialogue sociale Tous ensemble contre l'austerité, pour la solidarité, la démocratie et la justice sociale

Full solidarity with workers in Luxembourg and their unions #OGBL & #LCGB for their national demonstration tomorrow. We stand with you to defend collective bargaining, protect pensions & ensure that social dialogue remains a cornerstone of democracy. See you tomorrow! 👊 www.etuc.org/en/node/25593

The ETUC and @ilgaeurope.bsky.social stand united in defending the rights and freedoms of #LGBTIQ people and workers across Europe. We call on the @ec.europa.eu to deliver an ambitious LGBTIQ strategy 2026–2030 that rises to the challenge of protecting fundamental rights of LGBTIQ people.

I call on the Hungarian authorities to allow the Budapest Pride to go ahead. Without fear of any criminal or administrative sanctions against the organisers or participants. To the LGBTIQ+ community in Hungary and beyond: I will always be your ally.

“We need to tax wealth so that those with the most pay their fair share.” @estherlynch.bsky.social joined Belgium’s trade union movement in the streets of Brussels to echo their message to the government: no way we won't pay. Working people deserve dignity, not austerity cuts.

Public Service Day #PSDay2025 is here! @jwgoudriaan.bsky.social and @estherlynch.bsky.social, two European trade union leaders representing millions of workers, speaking out against cuts, and call for more investment. Let's throw austerity policies to the bin, where they belong!
