In the face of Trump’s antagonism toward the European Union’s regulation of Big Tech, the digital euro represents a critical opportunity to advance digital sovereignty and fair competition in Europe. But @ecb.europa.eu must consult workers to make it a success.

BREAKING: 23,000 Lidl workers in Italy have secured predictable shifts, guaranteed minimum working hours and a stronger say in their work organisation. This is why Lidl workers across Europe are joining unions — because together they can win real improvements for their lives.

We were 100,000 today! On the streets of Brussels, UNI Europa joined its Belgian affiliates, workers, students and pensioners to fight against the Belgian government's cuts of pensions and wages. We sent a strong signal to the government today: don't touch our pensions, don't touch our salaries.

With the European Commission’s proposal for public procurement reform expected this year, a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice sends a clear signal: improve legal certainty for public authorities promoting collective bargaining.

⚠️Years of talks. Dozens of bargaining sessions. Still no deal. Now the Google Korea union is warning a strike could be on the table.

Retail workers, carers, security guards, cleaners and IT professionals make up a majority of Europe's workforce today. But they are being left behind with precarious contracts, lower wages and weaker job security. We commissioned a report to understand why: www.uni-europa.org/news/uni-eur...

“We will defend sectoral bargaining in Romania and Europe’s banking sector.” The withdrawal of three multinational banks from the Romanian Banking Employers’ Council constitutes a serious attack on sectoral collective bargaining. Read our full statement.

From Cork to Brussels: workers are flagging the risks of #EUInc. Trade unions rallied in @michaelmcgratheu.bsky.social’s home city to warn of the risk of opening loopholes that would drive down workers' pay & conditions. Europe’s future must be built on strong rights, not a race to the bottom.

When unions integrate a gender perspective into negotiations, collective bargaining with employers can be a transformative tool for equality and social justice. UNI marks #IWD26 with a new manual on Collective Bargaining with a Gender Perspective.

We join our fellow global union federations in calling for an immediate ceasefire and a stop to escalation in Iran, the Middle East and beyond. ⬇️Full statement uniglobalunion.org/news/global-...

🇮🇹 Italy’s data protection authority has ordered Amazon to stop using the personal data of 1,800+ warehouse workers near Rome. Why did Amazon collected information on workers' union activity, medical conditions, Family crises? #MakeAmazonPay

Trade unions are calling on the European Commission to end its secrecy over its plans for an ‘EU Inc’ policy amid growing fears about its potential impact on working people and their rights 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

The German government’s passing of the Bundestarifstreuegesetz sends a clear message to the @ec.europa.eu: strengthen collective bargaining through public contracts.

Amazon tried to bust a union. Workers made them pay. Since workers started organizing with Unifor, Amazon has delayed, intimidated and discriminated. Workers just won a massive back pay lawsuit, and we're in solidarity as fight for a contract. #MakeAmazonPay

Daytime cleaning — the practice of cleaning spaces during daytime hours — doesn't just improve the well-being of cleaners. Companies, too, can benefit from lower turnover and higher employee engagement.

📰 NEW OP-ED ETUC General Secretary @estherlynch.bsky.social sounds the alarm: Europe’s competitiveness debate is being hijacked by corporate lobbyists pushing deregulation. The answer to Europe's real challenges is instead a mission-led economy built on investment and quality jobs. 🧵

📢 We joined Carrefour workers in Poland calling for fair redundancy terms as the French retailer closes 8 stores. Vouchers and basic statutory severance are not enough — workers deserve better. 💪 Read more: https://uniglobalunion.org/news/carrefour-poland-workers-demand-fair-redundancy/

Social Europe, not deregulation, is our continent’s competitive advantage. UNI Europa calls on EU leaders to use this week’s informal meeting to back a mission-led European industrial policy that delivers quality jobs in services.

‼️ @acvpuls.bsky.social/CNE "accuse #Amazon de manquer à ses obligations légales en ne communiquant pas clairement sur l’impact en Belgique (..). Face au silence du groupe après l’annonce de 16.000 suppressions d’emplois (dans le 🌍), le syndicat annonce son intention de saisir l’inspection sociale"‼️

EU leaders meeting for a ‘competitiveness retreat’ next week must refocus on people’s real priorities after a massive survey of European citizens found economic insecurity is their top concern.

“No factory is closing because employees have the right to know how their pay is structured or because precarious workers deserve basic protections.” Judith Kirton-Darling and Isabelle Barthès on why unions are mobilising for a Europe-wide action day tomorrow: tinyurl.com/3k4kmwwz

Despite its crucial economic importance, hairdressing remains largely invisible in European policy debates. Our new report maps collective bargaining in the sector, which needs renewed political and institutional support for sector-wide bargaining.

Amazon pushes workers to the brink and busts their unions. It has lined up behind Trumpism and its attack on Europe’s data protections. And for the last five years, it has evaded any democratic scrutiny. But yesterday, Amazon faced workers, trade unions and MEPs in the European Parliament.

Amazon laid off 16,000 workers — while facing MEPs over unsafe warehouses, surveillance and union-busting. Democracy isn’t a Zoom call from Seattle. If Amazon wants to operate in Europe, it must respect workers and unions. #MakeAmazonPay

🇪🇺"MEPs from across the political spectrum voiced sharp criticism of Amazon’s labour practices, questioning the company’s commitment to collective bargaining, labour rights and democratic institutions in Europe." #MakeAmazonPay

As Amazon announced 16,000 layoffs today, worker representatives and MEPs blasted Amazon management for undermining worker health and democracy at work during a European Parliament hearing on working conditions in its warehouses.

A bill circulates in the Polish parliament that would allow retail stores to open two Sundays a month. Workers and trade unions oppose the proposal. Sunday is an important rest day for retail workers who often work irregular hours during a long week. Let's keep it that way.

Noch heute wird in den meisten Betrieben spätabends oder früh am Morgen gereinigt. Die #Tagesreinigung sorgt für eine höhere Wertschätzung der Leistung der #Reinigungskräfte, wie ein neues Video des europäischen Dienstleistungsgewerkschaftsbunds @uni-europa.bsky.social zeigt: youtu.be/kuOCYEcU2xs
