🤔Sometimes the EU “minimum level” isn’t as clear‑cut, feasible, or even desirable.
A new @sieps.bsky.social analysis highlights why the shift away from going beyond EU rules is more complex than it seems.

😵💫Social partners @businesseurope.bsky.social & @etuc-ces.bsky.social are miles apart in @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social’s “quality jobs” consultation.
Agree on revising workplace & display directives

♦️@roxanaminzatu.bsky.social promised in November a “new action plan” for the European Pillar of Social Rights.
Roxana now confirms: no new plan — just a review of the 2021 one.
Smart pragmatism or a sign of fading ambition?
Deputy Minister Marilena Raouna outlined the @cy2026eu.bsky.social priorities @eesc.bsky.social 🗣️championing stronger autonomy & strategic resilience as we navigate an increasingly evolving geopolitical world. 🌍🇨🇾
🤔Blow to Mercosur, or just a bump in the road? 🇪🇺⚖️

Next week, the EP votes on a request to @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social to propose a Just Transition Directive on working conditions, inclusion, consultation & health & safety.
Will the EP endorse a clear call for legislation, or again stop short of it, as it did on algo. management?
ℹ️Today, Swedish Minister @ninalarsson.bsky.social unveiled draft law to implement the EU #PayTransparency directive.

Remember @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social's mobility package, promised for June?

It will now be unveiled tomorrow morning (Thursday), alongside the launch of a new consultation.
Stay tuned. 🚀
🗨️ The @ombudsman.europa.eu calls out @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu for rushing the ‘Omnibus I’ reform of the EU’s #CS3D corporate sustainability law.
Urgency is no excuse for bad law-making!
Today @eesc.bsky.social I backed a draft opinion to secure a minimum allocation for capacity-building of social partners in the next European Social Fund, correcting @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social’s removal of the current ring-fencing for social dialogue! ✊🇪🇺
🤔 @businesseurope.bsky.social champions “contractual freedom” to fight the EU’s 30-day payment term proposal — yet it’s also pushing for a CSRD value-chain cap that limits what big firms can ask of suppliers.
So… how fundamental is that “freedom” really?
