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...

At 11 percent, the EU’s gender pay gap is nothing less than economic violence against women

In 2026, a woman worker in average working in the EU still earns 11.1 percent less her male counterpart. Not because she works less, or contributes less, but because the system has been carefully desi...

"Without effective rules, markets do not become more competitive. They become easier to abuse." Our latest Euractiv op-ed looks at excessive subcontracting, labour exploitation and why #PublicProcurement must reward responsible businesses over the lowest price. www.euractiv.com/opinion/how-...

The Commission’s Tax Omnibus is being presented as simplification. We see something else: billions in new tax breaks for corporations, weaker safeguards against avoidance, and less revenue for public services already under pressure. 🤑 Our response here: www.epsu.org/article/tax-...
