✊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
