🧑‍🚒Applause won’t put out fires. #SOTEU gave firefighters applause but no sustainable plan: no staffing, no funding, no prevention. POLITICO’s Morning Energy & Climate picked up our message: strengthen professional fire services, invest, and regulate. 🔥Firefighters deserve more than a photo op.

🔴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...

🔴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...

Tomorrow, @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu will deliver her State of the Union speech. #SOTEU We will analyse whether it addresses Europe’s most pressing challenges and if it sets out a truly pro-workers’ agenda.

Our hearts go out to Portugal following the tragic derailment of Lisbon’s Elevador da Glória. We mourn the victims and extend our sincere condolences to their families and loved ones. 🇵🇹
