We call on Member States to stop the ‘wait and see’ approach and to get on with implementing the Directive in full, including raising wage floors to meet the adequacy benchmarks and adopting national action plans to increase collective bargaining coverage to 80%.

The Court has confirmed all measures related to the promotion of collective bargaining including the requirement for member states to put forward action plans to increase collective bargaining coverage.

Tuomioistuin on myös vahvistanut kaikki tes-neuvottelun edistämiseen liittyvät toimenpiteet, mukaan lukien jäsenvaltioiden velvoitteen laatia toimintasuunnitelmat työehtosopimusten kattavuuden lisäämiseksi. 👏

@estherlynch.bsky.social “The Directive is solid, but it needs solid implementation. Workers need real pay rises and real bargaining power, not legal loopholes. Europe must make sure every worker earns a wage that meets the threshold of decency, and promote effectively collective bargaining."
