Today @eesc.bsky.social I backed a draft opinion to secure a minimum allocation for capacity-building of social partners in the next European Social Fund, correcting @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social’s removal of the current ring-fencing for social dialogue! ✊🇪🇺

🤔 @businesseurope.bsky.social champions “contractual freedom” to fight the EU’s 30-day payment term proposal — yet it’s also pushing for a CSRD value-chain cap that limits what big firms can ask of suppliers.

So… how fundamental is that “freedom” really?

🔻The Court of Justice of the EU has upheld the Directive on MinimumWages but annulled parts of Article 5.

The ECJ found that certain provisions on wage adequacy criteria and indexation mechanisms interfered directly with pay, exceeding the EU’s powers under the Treaties!
November 11, 2025 at 9:12 AM
🟡⚖️ Just in! The ECJ has partially annulled the EU #MinimumWage Directive.

Parts of the Directive remain valid, while others have been scraped.

What will this mixed ruling mean for Social Europe?
November 11, 2025 at 8:12 AM
Has the EU stayed within the limits of the Treaties?

At 9am, the Court of Justice of the EU will decide the future of the Minimum Wage Directive!

At the @workers-eesc.bsky.social @feps-europe.eu seminar, rapporteur Andrzej Buła said algorithmic management can boost productivity, but mustn’t undermine workers’ rights or add red tape.

His draft INL calls for transparency, human oversight & consultation, and a ban on intrusive monitoring.

🗣️ Au séminaire du @workers-eesc.bsky.social @feps-europe.eu, la rapporteure fictive @leilachaibi.bsky.social plaide pour une réglementation générale de la gestion algorithmique du travail dans l’UE, estimant le champ de la directive sur les plateformes est trop étroit.
