Psychosocial risks must be addressed 🧐
but MEP Ceulemans’ report goes too far.
By prescribing how employers must delegate prevention tasks, it risks blurring accountability & weakening the core principle: management holds ultimate #OSH responsibility.
🛑Delete art. 15!
⚠️Swedish Gov. @ninalarsson.bsky.social wants to renegotiate the #PayTransparency Directive!

🆕MEP Ceulemans’s draft report urging @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social to propose an EU directive on psychosocial risks is out!

🤔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.

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?
