EU leaders gather today in Brussels to discuss how to make Europe more competitive.
Across Europe, trade unions have been sending the same message: the solution lies in investment, not deregulation.
A 🧵 of what unions have been saying ahead of today's meeting of EU leaders ⤵️
🔴 The European Commission has failed to deliver on its promise to safeguard workers’ rights in its ‘EU Inc’ proposal
As it stands, the plan creates a loophole in national labour law which could even let bosses replaces wages with share options

From Cork to Brussels: workers are flagging the risks of #EUInc.
Trade unions rallied in @michaelmcgratheu.bsky.social’s home city to warn of the risk of opening loopholes that would drive down workers' pay & conditions.
Europe’s future must be built on strong rights, not a race to the bottom.

🚨Breaking : Chat control bloquée au conseil de l'UE !
L'Allemagne (et non la France) refuse de soutenir le texte. La majorité s'effondre et la présidence danoise abandonne cette surveillance de masse.
Une victoire pour nos libertés fondamentales. Bravo à tous pour la mobilisation.
#DemocracyAtWork: we're calling on MEPs to vote yes ✅ for the European Works Council Directive revision at the @europarl.europa.eu today.
We call on the European Parliament to take a strong stand:
To defend workers' rights.
To protect the Due Diligence Directive.
HAPPENING NOW: @estherlynch.bsky.social is outlining workers' priorities to EU leaders today at the #PortoSocialForum.
Real rights you can rely on, security you can count on, wages you can live on.
That's what we're standing for.
Countdown: one week to go for the State of the European Union speech 2025.
Working people are the foundation of Europe. Yet today, their future is under threat.
@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu here's what is needed, check out the letter from our General Secretary @estherlynch.bsky.social ⤵️
Education is a public good, an intrinsic element of the social contract, not a marketplace. Technology must serve students and educators—not corporate shareholders. Europe must lead by example, ensuring that digital transformation upholds human dignity, equality, and democracy.

There’s no such thing as a done deal with Trump. He’ll keep coming back for more until you sign over your sovereignty to American corporations.
Don’t placate the bully. Stand up to him.

Ce matin à 5h, des travailleurs de nuit se sont rendus au domicile du ministre de l'Emploi, David Clarinval, à Bièvre. Ils venaient protester contre la réforme du travail de nuit, qui va leur coûter jusqu’à un mois et demi de salaire ! 👇 www.sudinfo.be/id1017915/ar...
URGENT: 12 international volunteers aboard the humanitarian flotilla "Madleen" were illegally detained by Israeli forces while trying to deliver essential aid to Gaza. Here is what happened:
Did the "millionaire exodus" really happen?
No. Not even close.
But that didn’t stop news around the world from reporting it did. So we're not going to let it stop us either from visualising just how much it didn't happen.

We remember with pride the defeat of fascism.
To the trade unionists who resisted. We thank you. We remember you. We pledge to carry your fight forward.
We’re sharing below clips of journalist Hossam Shabat, whom Israel assassinated in northern Gaza earlier today.
He was a role model to Gaza’s children, especially those aspiring to become reporters.

On this day 20 years ago, 80,000 workers rallied in Brussels to defeat the Bolkestein directive, which would’ve led to social dumping in the services industry.
Today, the EU Commission’s “28th regime” draws on the same idea—but it's even more dangerous.
In this op-ed, Oliver Roethig explains why.
The message from the @industrialleurope.bsky.social demo today was loud and clear 💯
📣 working people need a Clean Industrial Deal & a Just Transition Directive that deliver quality jobs and not an industry wish-list of deregulation & blank cheques.
Powerful rejoinder from @wwfeu.bsky.social to the conservative denunciations of European #NGOs, which ignore the vastly greater resources privately deployed by corporate lobbyists to neuter progressive EU decisions: euobserver.com/EU%20Politic...
Today was the day: a long-awaited opinion on the Adequate Minimum Wages Directive 2022/2041, and I think a concerning one as AG Emiliou suggests its annulment.
Competence was 'thin ice', DK and SV have legitimate concerns to protect social partnership, but there is a lot to unpack in:

Comme chaque samedi, mon appel à glisser des médias indés dans votre flux Bluesky ✨
Qu'ils traitent l'actu régionale, nationale ou internationale, qu'ils soient généralistes ou spécialisés, d'enquêtes ou d'idées, aucun de ces médias ne dépend d'intérêts industriels, financiers ou de l’État.
This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media.
This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign.
Meet the team.
This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017.

Inspiring commitment by people in Wexford who have been out every single week for Palestine. Lots of support from passers-by.
This is the determination that is making the Irish Government take action. Let's keep it up!
Bidenomics was a huge success in the real world, even if not in the media newrepublic.com/article/1892...
The Republican Party is controlled by fascists. The Democratic Party is useless.
We need electoral reform to break up the two party duopoly. Both parties are Too Big to Fail.
