๐จ European trade unions urge the EU to act on #Gaza.
Together with 8 ETUFs and @etuc-ces.bsky.social, weโve written to EU High Representative @kajakallas.bsky.social calling for decisive measures to stop the humanitarian disaster & defend human rights.

โ Unfair. Unbalanced. Unsustainable.
The EU-US trade framework is a setback for agriculture and workers in the EFFAT sectors.
๐ Our response: effat.org/featured/eu-...
Every worker in Europe deserves a decent day at work, a fair day's pay. No worker should have to be forced to live in conditions that workers here are forced to live in.
EU must act over scandal of farm workers living in shacks: www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...
@effat.org
Thousands of agricultural workers are living in slum conditions while working for employers in receipt of EU farming subsidies, a delegation of trade unionists and MEPs found during a visit to Italy.

#RulesToProtect:
Where's the proof that removing the right of a victim from corporate abuse to claim justice will relaunch EU #competitiveness?
The idea that protecting human rights and the environment is a burden rather than a baseline is a false narrative - said @enricosomaeffat.bsky.social

๐ค At the ETUC Mid-Term Conference, EFFAT President Annika Rรถnni-Sรคllinen called for unity against deregulation, far-right threats, and labour exploitation.

๐An opinion that is fully in line with EFFATโs call to revise EU procurement rules to promote quality, fair jobs.
โ
No more lowest-price-only awards
โ
A MEAT approach with social & environmental criteria
โ
Regulated subcontracting with real accountability
Across Europe, fair work is under attack.
Abusive subcontracting and unregulated labour intermediation fuel exploitation and inequality.
Millions of workers in EFFAT sectors and beyond demand concrete answers.
EFFATโs Model Directive is about restoring equal treatment and fairness at work.
Through the Labour Mobility Package and the Quality Jobs Roadmap, I am personally committed to preventing abuse, while enabling subcontracting where it supports expertise and innovation. #SocialEurope. (2/2)
Productive exchange with @enricosomaeffat.bsky.social, General Secretary of @effat.org
We discussed how to ensure fair working conditions, adequate wages and safe workplaces along supply chains โ by tackling risks from long subcontracting chains and abusive labour intermediaries. (1/2)
