🚨 Breaking!
We delivered, Europe won! Great news for over 30M platform workers!
Estonia and Greece chose the right side of history - the side of workers, good employers & fair competition. France shamefully the only one against.
The historic EU law on platform work is unblocked, thanks to our relentless efforts. Europe is the pioneer in global labour law.
✊ We are one step closer to a directive on platform workers that ensures their rights and regulates the gig sector!
We congratulate Nicolas Schmit, @TheProgressives rapporteur @gualminielisa, the Belgian Presidency, and everyone in our progressive family who has worked hard to reach this historic deal.
Some big platforms did not want this directive and have massively lobbied against it, but social justice prevailed.

Wonderful news from Croatia 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ We congratulate @SDPHrvatske to the founding of its new Queer Network! 👏 The creation of the first socialist LGBTIQ+ network in the Western Balkans is a strong message for our community all over Europe!
🌹🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Nakon dvadeset i tri godine podrške i zalaganja za LGBT prava i jednakost, u Saboru i van njega, @SDPHrvatske osnovala je i svoj Queer forum. Dozrelo je, ali nikad nije kasno biti prvi.
Čestitke Karlu Vedaku na izboru na rukovodeće mjesto.

Abortion is healthcare.

#IamJustyna#LikeJustyna
Polish court convicted Justyna Wydrzyńska a human rights activist of illegally providing abortion pills and sentenced her to eight months of community service verdict. Justyna was sentenced for helping a woman in access to abortion. Justyna does not feel guilty. #LikeJustyna
Footballers, past and present, are now infinitely more sensible, thoughtful and plain speaking than most politicians. They are more likely to stick to the facts and offer coherent argument than most journalists.
It’s an extraordinary indictment.
💡Data is not gender neutral
🤖AI perpetuates preexisting inequalities
👛67% women in tech consider that they are underpaid
📲platform work exacerbated inequities in the labour market
‼️Cyberviolence deters them from participation in political, social & cultural life
🧵👇
One big reason behind the EU gender pay gap of 13% is care & household work – women take on much more unpaid work. This is not a “woman’s job,” men can do it too!
Apply your skills in other fields & help close the gender pay gap #UEPD2022

Europe is about to get very poor, very quickly. Meanwhile the US will grab market share as European exporters lose their competitive edge *and* continent turns to imports of US liquid natural gas. 2022 was the beginning a major paradigm shift.
Rishi Sunak becomes Prime Minister without winning a general election and after losing a leadership race less than 2 months ago.
The media now decides who runs the U.K, not the electorate. We need a general election otherwise we don’t deserve to be called a democracy.
European Media Literacy Week 2022 starts today & #EDMOeu will be there!

🇵🇱 Women in Poland face huge barriers & even death since the almost total ban on abortion
👉🏽 It is also affecting human rights defenders &➕
🇪🇺 We need EU vales & #RuleOfLaw for every woman to decide over her own body
#RobimyRobotę#DefendTheDefenders#SRHR@PES_PSE@ippfen
What a woman wears is her decision, and her decision only.
We stand in solidarity with our sisters in #Iran and call to immediately end violence against women and girls.
