A lively panel discussion made it clear that we need a paradigm shift, with a greater focus on social aspects, cooperation, a supportive macro-financial framework, and innovation — also in public services.

#Omnibus I is the trial balloon. @ec.europa.eu wants to find out whether it can get away with it. The Commissiom failes to adhere to its own procedural standards, to an extent that makes the proposal legally contestable - Paul de Clerck @foeeurope.bsky.social

Backtracking on the #GreenDeal is not an option. The #CSDDD is key for achieving the climate targets. The heatwave we are facing these days in Europe clearly shows that the #Omnibus I proposal is going in the wrong directin - Nele Meyer @eccjorg.bsky.social

The #Omnibus I proposal is not a mere shift, it is a U-turn. After #RanaPlaza, the need for binding rules for business has become evident. The #CSDDD has been passed after years of negotiations. Watering it down the way it is done now, is not acceptable - Isabelle Schömann @etuc-ces.bsky.social

Sustainable competitiveness requires a focus on people and #labour and co-determination rights must be anchored in transformation management. Publicly funded projects should include #employment guarantees. Read AK's full Position on the #CleanIndustrialDeal here: www.akeuropa.eu/en/clean-ind...

Europe’s workplace stress epidemic is killing around 10,000 people a year. Time for action!
