Regional Sec of @UNI_Europa uniting 7 million service workers. We are fighting for collective bargaining, quality jobs, social justice, democracy & equality ✊

A win for YVR2 workers in Canada and for @UniforTheUnion. Fair bargaining matters, and so does a fair first contract. #MakeAmazonPay

RIGHT NOW: Bank workers are picketing at the BRD Romania headquarters in Bucharest.

Their collective agreement is expiring today — and the offer on the table is unacceptable.

UNI Europa's Management Committee stands in solidarity with the workers and Sindicatul IMPACT.

We were at least 75,000 on the streets of Brussels today: unions, women's organisations, citizens movements, students, schoolchildren.

The whole of society was present to defend pensions, purchasing power and a vision of society built on solidarity.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

Everything is becoming more expensive.

And the Belgian government is doubling down on cuts to pensions and wages — instead of taxing wealth.

But workers and unions say: enough is enough.

We join them for a major demonstration in Brussels tomorrow.

On #EuropeDay, 76 years after Schuman's Paris speech, Europe can take neither peace nor unity for granted.

In this context, UNI Europa's @ORoethig calls for a trade unionism and politics that tackles the challenges of war and the cost of living.

Europe still needs a universal postal service that delivers letters and parcels affordably to every single address.

That requires a fair system where all delivery companies contribute to the public system.

A major strike at @deutschetelekom is sweeping across Germany.

In the last two days, 7,500 workers took industrial action a 6.6 per cent pay rise.

Today the strike is moving from north to south.

Solidarity with the workers and their union ver.di.

“It’s incredibly frustrating not to be able to do my job the way I think is best – simply because I don’t have the time.”

Katharina worked as a nurse in intensive care in Austria. She never felt she had enough time: for her patients, for her colleagues and for herself.

This week, around 200 union leaders, worker representatives and experts gather in Copenhagen for UNI Europa’s ICTS sector conference, representing more than three million workers in telecommunications, IT, digital services, games and business services.

[UNI Global Union @uniglobalunion]

⚠️ We want to save Europe’s postal services – not let them die like Denmark’s. We're calling on the EU to make rules that protect 1.8 million good jobs and set a level playing field for delivery services — on pay, on service, on access. Today we're saying that universal postal service is a right and must remain exactly that: universal.

Check out the opinion piece by UNI's Oliver Roethig and Dimitris Theodorakis in the EU Observer today: https://t.co/ZHAWWJlPCZ

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

Europe's postal services are under threat.

1.8 million posties could lose their jobs.

And we won't be able to send and receive mail at affordable prices anymore.

But the upcoming EU Delivery Act could prevent that.

At the launch event of our #SaveOurPost campaign in Brussels today, together with consumer groups and EU lawmakers like @leilachaibi, @johandanielsson and @liandersson, we called on @EU_Commission to to safeguard postal jobs and make this essential public service future-proof.

[Oliver Roethig @ORoethig]

I wrote about why we need to save Europe's postal service.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

In 1489, the Thurn and Taxis family had an imperial monopoly to carry the mail of Europe’s elites.

500 years later, that network has become a public service – but its status is now at risk in the place where it was born: Brussels.

Die Post ist ein unterschätztes öffentliches Gut, europaweit steht sie unter Druck. Die EU hat jetzt die Chance auf eine Reform, schreiben @D_Theodorakis und @ORoethig.

[UNI Europa @UNI_Europa]

@ORoethig said: “Far too many essential workers go home without a living wage, without a collective agreement. This is a policy failure – and the European Commission must remedy it by promoting collective bargaining in public procurement.”
