Good news if you're a vegetable: the EU is rushing to protect your protocols! 🥬 Bad news if you're a woman worker: 22 EU member states missed the June 7 deadline to pass the Pay Transparency Directive and the Commission hasn’t said a word. 🤷‍♀️ Time to rearrange priorities: Equal pay cannot wait!

🔴Women workers will be 672 Euro a year poorer on average as a result of inaction on the gender pay transparency directive All member states must finally put this law into action and those who don't must be taken to court 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

The EU should follow its own rules and prohibit the import of goods produced in the settlements. Our letter ahead of Foreign Affairs Council, taking place today ⤵️

The ETUC is calling for the the EU institutions to stop the clock on EU Inc in order to ensure it has real safeguards for workers "Until every hole is closed, trade unions cannot and will not support it" - @estherlynch.bsky.social 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Europe’s largest companies are seeing record profits but low investment. What do they do with the profits instead? Distribute them to shareholders, borrow to fund more payouts, and hoard earnings to maintain buffers for future distributions.

Putting trade union demands to change the "EU Inc" proposal on the table at the EU ministers meeting. #EPSCO Bad employers dodging labour rules hurt everyone. We need more inspection, no new loopholes — and no public money without respecting workers' rights, including the right to unionise. 🎥

Women are paying a high price for the delays by 23 member states in implementing the pay transparency directive With the pay gap stuck at 11%, the average working woman loses €3,800 a year compared to her male peers ✏️ Isabelle Schömann for @euobserver.com euobserver.com/225126/at-11...

Union leaders from Iceland to Belgium express their support for our twin protests in Paris and Dublin today.

Tomorrow, 1,000+ essential workers will rally simultaneously in Paris and Dublin to demand pro-worker procurement reform. They demand genuine collective bargaining as the EU overhauls the public procurement rules governing €2,000 billion in spending across Europe.

Happening today: twin rallies to fix the EU's public procurement rules. Public contracts with private companies must no longer drive a race to the bottom for working. Instead, they must strengthen collective bargaining so that they drive quality services, quality good and quality jobs.

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.

NEW: EU has ‘misdiagnosed’ competitiveness problem Increased investment – not deregulation and wage restraint – is the real route to a more successful European economy, research by @mazzucatom.bsky.social shows.

On Public Service Day, Europe faces a choice. It can continue to praise public services while treating them as costs. Or it can recognise them for what they are: the foundation of a fair, democratic and resilient Europe. Read more: www.brusselstimes.com/2195304/euro... #PublicServicesEmergency
