📄Today at our Group Meeting, Agnieszka Piasna from ETUI presented the new Benchmarking Working Europe 2026 👉Plenty to unravel here on the state of affairs for workers in Europe. Check out the publication at www.etui.org/publications... @etui.bsky.social @eesc.bsky.social
We stand in solidarity with the workers, victims, and families affected by the tragic fire at the OXY Tower in Brussels. Our thoughts are with those who lost their lives, those still missing, the injured, and all their loved ones.
Nearly one in two Europeans wants action on the cost of living. That's up 6 percentage points since autumn 2025, showing a growing concern about the pressure on households. Workers are paying the price. That has to change! Read the full survey: europa.eu/eurobaromete...
Europe is getting hotter: it's time to act. No worker should have their health or life put at risk simply because of extreme heat on the job. It's time to prepare workplaces for a hotter future and ensure every worker is protected from extreme heat.
'EU competitiveness depends on people, not deregulation. We need investments in quality jobs, continuous training & strong collective bargaining. Economic growth doesn't automatically help workers; smart regulation = key to fix housing crises & manage AI for all.' At #CESI Summer Days
First candidates for the 'Return Hubs' are coming in. Rwanda is there. Uzbekistan, too. Both with a rather grim record on #HumanRights. What could go wrong? Take a look www.amnesty.org/en/location/... www.amnesty.org/en/location/... @amnestyeu.bsky.social @unhcr.org
We're barely one week in, and the EU leaders are already meeting with the #Taliban to speed up deportations. A hint of what is to come down this path. #HumanRights
Public services across Europe are at breaking point! The answer isn't more austerity. It's investment, quality jobs, and public services for all. Read @etuc-ces.bsky.social, @etuce.eurosky.social, @etf-europe.bsky.social and @epsu.bsky.social's statement: www.brusselstimes.com/2195304/euro...
The @eesc.bsky.social feeds directly into the @ec.europa.eu's legislative agenda and gives civil society a real voice in shaping EU policy. Our member Carlos Manuel Trindade breaks down the EESC's contribution to the 2027 work programme and what it means for Europeans. 🇪🇺
Ahead of #WorldRefugeeDay, we stand firm. ❌We say NO to detention camps, NO to #ICE in Europe, NO to outsourcing our responsibility, and NO to the new return regulation agreed this week. #HumanRights are not up to cherrypicking. Read more link.europa.eu/VJCVxF

On International Day Against Child Labour, we want to remember the millions of children who still have to pick up tools and go to work instead of opening a book at school. Let's push for stronger policies to end child labour everywhere.
