The question is not whether Belgium can win the game against the USA, but whether Belgium can win the game against the USA. 🤷‍♂️

EU priorities by social class: Bread, butter and health for the working classes Security, environment and AI for the higher classes
In Paris today, hundreds of cleaners, security guards and food service workers sent a message to Stéphane Séjourné and Europe's leaders: every worker should be covered by collective agreement that guarantees decent pay and conditions. No public contract without collective agreement.
Union leaders from Iceland to Belgium express their support for our twin protests in Paris and Dublin today.

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.

An excellent article by @standespiegelaere.bsky.social. If not THE fix, workplace democracy definitely is A fix to unchecked corporate power - one of the biggest challenges of our time.
Stan De Spiegelaere@standespiegelaere.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhat do tech bros and steel magnates have in common? Unchecked corporate power is a threat to democracy. The fix? Workplace democracy. Germany did it and Spain is stepping up. Let’s learn from history—before it repeats itself. @socialeurope.bsky.social www.socialeurope.eu/from-hitlers...

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.
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...

Industrietop wil minder regels en meer “competitiviteit”. Maar zonder eerlijke concurrentie geen sterke economie. @standespiegelaere.bsky.social waarschuwde dat het nieuwe “28ste regime” bedrijven toelaat nationale normen te ontwijken — een nieuwe Bolkestein. 🔗 www.denktankminerva.be/opinie/2025/...
