Ahead of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia on 17 May, we share the testimony of Rodrigo Rodriguez, a logistics worker at IKEA organised with Dutch union @fnv.bsky.social. We keep fighting for a safe and inclusive workplace for all workers.

We were at least 75,000 on the streets of Brussels today: unions, women's organisations, citizens movements, students, schoolchildren. The whole of society was present to defend pensions, purchasing power and a vision of society built on solidarity.

Data workers are paying a hidden cost, mental health and low wages, to make the internet safer for all. That’s why they’re organizing and fighting back to hold Big Tech accountable. #TechWorkersRising

Everything is becoming more expensive. And the Belgian government is doubling down on cuts to pensions and wages — instead of taxing wealth. But workers and unions say: enough is enough. We join them for a major demonstration in Brussels tomorrow.

🇪🇺 El 9 de mayo, #DíaDeEuropa, celebramos una visión de paz y unidad. ✍️ Oliver Roethig, secretario regional de @uni-europa.bsky.social: «El movimiento sindical se mantiene unido en el rechazo a la lógica de la guerra y la militarización.». #Artículo7

On #EuropeDay, 76 years after Robert Schuman's Paris speech, Europe can take neither peace nor unity for granted. In this context, UNI Europa's Regional Secretary Oliver Roethig calls for a trade unionism and politics that tackles the twin challenges of war and the cost of living.

“The schedule is difficult to manage on a day-to-day basis, particularly because the workload tends to increase with every new contract.” For #1May, we worked with @eurcorrespond.bsky.social on a story about Mohamed, a cleaner at a European institution. The EU must reform its procurement rules.

Without urgent safeguards, the financialization of care risks locking care systems into a race to the bottom driving down wages, conditions, & quality of care. Read this new OpEd by Christy Hoffman:

Ian McArdle, Deputy General Secretary, has been elected to the position of Vice President of UNI Europa ICTS. Ian has served on the UNI Europa ICTS Steering Committee for a number of years and was elected at the recent conference in Copenhagen, attended by over 200 union leaders across Europe.

“It’s incredibly frustrating not to be able to do my job the way I think is best – simply because I don’t have the time.” Katharina worked for a long time as a nurse in an intensive care unit in Austria. She never felt she had enough time: for her patients, for her colleagues and for herself.

Prospect’s delegation at the @uni-europa.bsky.social ICTS conference in Copenhagen today had plenty to think about following the keynote speech from Osgoode Hall Law School's Valerio de Stefano on whether labour laws are keeping pace with technological change and AI (TLDR: probably not!) 1/4

Top officials from CWU are attending the @uni-europa.bsky.social ICTS conference to discuss AI, Collective Bargaining and Organising.

A Le Parisien investigation with the help of UNI shows content moderators from Kenya to Turkey & beyond face violent content, nightmares, insomnia & psychological stress—often for low pay. The invisible workers behind the screens need urgent protection and accountability. #techworkersrising

Our ICTS sector conference has kicked off in Copenhagen this morning.🥳 Over the next two days, 200 union leaders will discuss how workers can gain real influence through organising and collective bargaining over new technologies like AI that are transforming their jobs.

In 1489, the Thurn and Taxis family had an imperial monopoly to carry the mail of Europe’s elites. 500 years later, that network has become a public service – but its status is now at risk in the place where it was born: Brussels. Our op-ed in @euobserver.com.

We support UNI Europa’s campaign to Save our Post. This is about 1.8 million workers. This is about our right to communicate. This is about fair competition. The upcoming reform of Europe’s oldest communications network must be modernised by putting people first. 💬Johan Danielsson

Europe's postal services are under threat. 1.8 million posties could lose their jobs. And we won't be able to send and receive mail at affordable prices anymore. But the upcoming EU Delivery Act could prevent that. Sign now our petition and call on the European Commission to #SaveOurPost.

At the launch event of our #SaveOurPost campaign in Brussels today, together with consumer groups and EU lawmakers like @leilachaibi.bsky.social, Johan Danielsson and @liandersson.bsky.social, we called on @ec.europa.eu to safeguard postal jobs and make this essential public service future-proof.

Every year, over €2tn in EU money flows to private contractors through a system that fuels the exploitation of workers. Today’s Procurement Summit, organised by UNI Europa (tag), is giving a voice to essential workers, calling for fair public procurement that puts people first. @pierrejouvet.fr

2 TRILLION euro is spent on public contracts every year - most of it to whoever offers to do it for the lowest cost That creates a race to the bottom in the standards of services and jobs. Today unions, businesses and lawmakers joined forces today to call for change 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

As the European Commission prepares to reform the rules governing over 2 trillion euros in annual public procurement, UNI Europa brought together a coalition of unions, businesses, civil society and lawmakers for the first-ever Procurement Summit in Brussels today.

The European Commission's proposal for procurement reform is imminent. Join us tomorrow for the first-ever European Procurement Summit to hear from workers, businesses and civil society about the stakes. Only a few places left. Register now.

14 April. Brussels. Join us.

"Hands off free speech." Yesterday, more than 10,000 people gathered in Vilnius to protest a law that would threaten the editorial, organisational and financial independence of Lithuania's public broadcaster. We stand in solidarity with the LRT trade union and media workers.

We support the action of trade unions for socially responsible public procurement focused on people and quality jobs. It is unacceptable that public money continues to fuel exploitation. Instead, it must ensure good working conditions and support companies that respect collective agreements.

Every year, EU public authorities spend over €2 trillion on goods and services. But the system for awarding these contracts to private companies is broken. We are here to fix it. Join us at the Procurement Summit next week on 14 April in Brussels. Register: www.uni-europa.org/meetings/eur...

A new report from UNI Europa's Graphical sector gathers statistics on workplace accidents and highlights measures to safeguard all workers in the printing and paper sector. Read the full report here:

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.

The digital euro represents a critical opportunity to advance digital sovereignty and fair competition. But to gain the trust of European citizens and businesses, @ecb.europa.eu must consult with the workers who will run it. Oliver Roethig and Esther Lynch for @projectsyndicate.bsky.social.

"The EU must respond to growing global instability with coordinated European action that protects workers, supports strategic industries and strengthens the economy," writes @uni-europa.bsky.social.

UNI Europa calls on European co-legislators to reject the European Commission’s plan to launch a new EU Inc. company form – formerly known as the 28th regime – as presented by the President of the European Commission ahead of the European Council meeting.

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.
