🔴The Quality Jobs Act announced today by President von der Leyen must meet the urgency of the situation facing working people

Trade unions have clear tests and, having waited so long for action, will not settle for half measures #SOTEU25

✊We join Spanish trade unions and working people in their mobilisation today to demand that the legislation to reduce weekly working hours proceed and be adopted.

It would be inacceptable to stop the debate on a bill that would substantially improve the lives of more than 12 million workers.

🤔 Will @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu guarantee a just transition leaving no one behind in #SOTEU?

So far, too many EU policies prioritise profits over people. A real just transition means protecting workers, investing in communities & making sure no one is left out.

🔴An official EU poll shows there's a stark disconnect between the Commission's priorities and people’s needs

The public's priorities are better pay, jobs and public services - not deregulation. Next week's State of the Union speech must deliver on these priorities

📚 Back to school, back in action!

From hospitals in Brussels to schools in Ireland, public service workers across Europe are striking for fair pay, safe staffing and dignity at work. Austerity and deregulation aren’t the answer. The future is public.

📣 French unions are standing up against the #Bayrou budget!

❌ Wage freezes
❌ Elimination of 2 public holidays
❌ Cuts to public services

Brutal. Unfair. Unacceptable.

✊🏾 EPSU stands in #solidarité with your nation-wide mobilisation on 18 September!

🌡️📢 A new UN report backs our key demand for mandatory workplace heat risk assessments.

Extreme heat is a workplace hazard — and it’s time employers treated it that way.

European trade union federations, including EPSU and @etuc-ces.bsky.social, have written to the EU demanding decisive action on Gaza.

Words are not enough. The EU must act to uphold human rights and international law.

With growing unrest over the catastrophic situation in Gaza, the European trade union federations are challenging the EU’s lack of action.
