Rising prices & the economic situation are hitting hard, with 42% of voters citing the cost of living as their main concern in the recent EU elections. It's clear: people want action on fair wages and social protection, not more austerity! https://lnkd.in/exnvuQgg

About us
The Workers' Group (Group II) comprises representatives from national trade unions, confederations and sectoral federations. Its members represent over 80 trade union organisations – the vast majority of them affiliated to the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) or its sectoral federations. Although the European social model is an example for much of the world, there are still too many people suffering hardship or excluded from society because of poverty, discrimination, lack of education, or other disadvantages. Group II's key priorities have always been full employment, the improvement of the living and working conditions of workers in Europe and the well-being of all EU citizens, as well as of workers and their families in other continents. It is firmly committed to the enlargement and strengthening of the EU, as an area of prosperity, freedom and democracy, mutual support, solidarity and social cohesion, and aims to ensure that workers can play a real part in European policy-making.

Did you know that far-right parties voted against laws to protect platform workers? And that far-right parties where the most opposed to a minimmum level of taxation of 20% to multinational corporations? Far Right parties are very willing to lie to their electorate: they make empty promises regarding social and welfare policy, but systematically abandon their promises to forge austerity alliances. At the same time, they bash the politicians in Brussels, but also fail to support the measures that would uplift workers and citizens in the European Parliament. In my study I look at 8 of the most important pieces of workers' rights legislation and how the different euro-groups voted them. https://lnkd.in/d7h9kxGv
