On International Day Against Child Labour, we want to remember the millions of children who still have to pick up tools and go to work instead of opening a book at school. Let's push for stronger policies to end child labour everywhere.

MEPs in LIBE vote on the Return Regulation on 15 June, with plenary expected on 17 June. EPSU, ETUC and European trade union federations representing millions of workers call on MEPs to reject this proposal. Europe needs rights, safeguards and strong public services - not ICE-style raids.

Say NO to ICE in #Europe! Contact your representative, vote in the LIBE Committee is 15th June and 17th on Plenary. + info www.epsu.org/article/vote...

Deutschland ist schon peinlich, was die Umsetzung der Richtlinie zur Transparenz der Gehälter angeht. Dass es aber so ein Umsetzungsdesaster in der EU ist, war mir neu.

No draft legislation published/no timeline: Ireland, Germany, Spain, Austria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia.

This Sunday was the deadline for EU countries to turn the Pay Transparency Directive into national law. Only 3 out of 27 member states made it. Pay transparency can't wait. EU countries should transpose the Directive now! Read @etuc-ces.bsky.social 's analysis: www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Today the EU Commission presented its 2026 #EuropeanSemester Spring Package. For us it is clear: As Europe invests in defence & energy security, it must also invest in workers, quality jobs, fair wages & good working conditions. This is what makes EU competitive & strong! @gabischoff.bsky.social

Some people in Europe will see this list and think 'oh, we can make it!' Take it into account when voting. Unionise. Fight for your rights. Never take them for granted.

The far right presents itself as pro-worker and pro-“common man” (yes, man) in its propaganda but its “welfare” policies are always just clientelistic crumbs as massive wealth goes to its own cronies and the rich who jump the bandwagon.

There is no democracy without a free press. Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay, and the fight for press freedom is more urgent than ever. Let's protect it.
