[ÖGB Europabüro @oegb_eu]

Der Wirtschaftsmotor muss endlich wieder anspringen! Wir brauchen lösungsorientierte Zugänge + eine (!) gemeinsame EU-Industriestrategie, so PRO-GE Vorsitzender @Reini_Binder und Judith Kirton-Darling, Generalsekretärin der europ. Industriegewerkschaft „industriALL“. @Jude_KD

[AK Europa @AK_EU_Int]

Die @EU_Commission will das #Lieferkettengesetz, die #Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung und die #Taxonomie VO massiv abschwächen und kündigt ein #Omnibus Gesetz an. Gewerkschaften und NGOs protestieren heute in Brüssel dagegen!✊

[EPSU @EPSUnions]

🚨🚨 Live from the action!

We're standing against the #Omnibus law that threatens EU Directives keeping big business accountable.

NO to weakening corporate accountability laws!

👉🏾 EU must protect the CSDDD, CSRD and Taxonomy Regulation - not the interest of big business!

[EPSU @EPSUnions]

Floods, droughts, and water scarcity are hitting Europe harder than ever. EPSU and @AK_EU_Int @Arbeiterkammer are calling for an EU Water Resilience Strategy that puts People and Planet first. 🌍💧

[AK Europa @AK_EU_Int]

Nein zu Deregulierung auf Kosten von Arbeitnehmer:innen- und Gewerkschaftsrechten!

[EUROPEAN TRADE UNIONS @etuc_ces]

The EU Due Diligence rules should “work for all”, workers and their family, business and the environment!

We say NO to deregulation and attacks on EU law protecting workers and trade union rights!

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our work this year! We have many challenges ahead of us, but we will continue to fight for a better future for the EU from the perspective of workers and consumers! 📢

We wish everyone restful holidays and a happy new year 2025! ✨

📢Trade agreements are becoming increasingly relevant to the EU's strategic direction. Through arbitration tribunals and mandatory tariff reductions in all areas, the interests of corporations are often served first and foremost. Bold climate and sustainability agreements that prioritise social and environmental goals are needed to create progress for workers, the environment and the climate.

In AK’s view, the different prices in the EU for identical branded food goods and toiletries are the result of market failure. Such price differences on the internal market are not justified. A solution needs to be found at European level. Read our demands here: https://t.co/1O4DtW0EHr

As for now, there is still no uniform taxation of groups in the EU. Further measures are therefore necessary. More on this in our List of Demands ➡️https://t.co/VWikyD3jXh

Gender perspectives, such as differences in risk exposure and health consequences, need to be considered more in occupational health and safety. One of today’s @ETUI_org / #OSH conference panels discusses “Breaking Down Barriers: Integrating Gender into OHS Prevention Process”.

Public procurement contracts not only on the basis of the lowest price, but also on the basis of criteria of social and ecological sustainability would be a central economic policy lever for the just design of the transformation to a CO2-neutral economy ➡️More on this in our lates Policy Brief: https://t.co/aEwfX2rIlw

[AK Europa @AK_EU_Int]

📢Every year, around 14% of European GDP is spent on public contracts – that amounts to more than EUR 2 trillion. In the course of the #transformation, it is therefore crucial to determine the conditions to which the granting of state funding is linked.

Die öffentliche Hand verfügt in Österreich über einen Haftungsrahmen von 40 Milliarden € für Exportförderungen. Während Österreich den Ausstieg aus fossilen Geschäften verschleppt, sind andere schon viel weit weiter. Eine neue Studie @oefse @AK_EU_Int zeigt: Was kann Österreich von internationalen Vorzeigebeispielen für #Klimagerechtigkeit #NetZero lernen?

[A&W Blog @AundW]

Die öffentliche Hand verfügt in Österreich über einen Haftungsrahmen von 40 Mrd € für Exportförderungen. Diese öffnen immer noch Hintertüren für fossile Projektgeschäfte. Dazu @LukasSchlogl, David Pfaffenbichler & @RazaWerner @oefse: https://t.co/df7ieqGco0
