Minimum wages matter. Think cost of living 🧮. The EU Minimum Wages Directive promotes adequacy. Yet the AG proposed annulment in a legal riddle and risk to living conditions.

Claire and I show why his view is legally inadequate: https://t.co/7VHAE0EXro

The AMWD must stay. 🧵

Together with @Youth_Forum we urge Member States to return to the drawing board and work on legislation that brings fair and inclusive entry into the labour market for young workers: https://t.co/TFavKA9NaM

Today, in @Europarl_EN, we commemorated Emilio Gabaglio, who led @etuc_ces from 1991 to 2003.

A secular Christian and a humanist economist, Emilio worked closely with then @EU_Commission President Jacques Delors to make workers’ voices heard, and build a truly #SocialEurope. 🇪🇺

And last but not least there is also a few novel documents in there that the Council has never made available, such as a key EPP position paper from the Conventions last days. My colleague @hogan_hilary can tell you more on that one and its relevance!

EU (Charter) lawyers/Historians! 👀

@EUI_HistArchEU now holds the protocols by Bernsdorff/Borowsky from the CFR Convention! In 🇩🇪 but OCR and translatable!

After collecting the complete travaux in 2020 (https://t.co/Bf8Q1uroKp), glad to work with Ruth and the authors on this!

Das Archiv der EU in Florenz hat einen interessanten neuen Forschungsbestand - die vollständigen traveaux preparatoires für die Entstehung der Grundrechte-Charta - die "Bernsdorff Collection" @EUI_HistArchEU

[Marc Steiert @MarcSteiert]

It's a great resource that helps you contextualising the CFR Convention debates in 2000 and our travaux collection!
And after having to find it only in the 🌃 dark depths of a 🇩🇪 university library's cellar in 2020, I am really glad to see it here open access!

[EUROPEAN TRADE UNIONS @etuc_ces]

On Interns day, we repeat our claim that we do not want an empty directive on traineeships.

We call on @HU24EU, @EUCouncil and the @EUparliament to listen to young people and to #BanUnpaidInternships.

@CompetitionProf One can have legitimate democratic debates on which regulatory rules should be adopted and which not - that's politics and democracy must decide - , but more nuance than in this article seems appropriate for the political debates and compromises that have to be made.

[Marc Steiert @MarcSteiert]

@CompetitionProf An article citing an autocrat as way forward? Similarly, German nuclear exit as politics for elites (a large democratic majority in 2011, everything else would have been elite politics). As if the US had no what the author so strangely calls 'luxury rules'...
