Social dumping is a huge concern especially for European transport workers. Commission has not done enough to curb the problem. Roberto Parillo, president of @ETF_Road and Paloma Lopez Bermejo, ⁦mep of @GUENGL⁩ discussing on the “Road package”. #tune2019

[The Left in the European Parliament @Left_EU]

“It’s key for us to improve working conditions of drivers. We were able to build a broad consensus across political groups in the Employment committee. But the proposal from the Transport committee did not meet these standards and was rejected in plenary.” @palomalopezB #TUNE2019

The social protocol will not solve workers’ social problems in one swipe but provides a stronger base from which to fight for better working life. ⁦@rinakari⁩. #tune2019

“Some of us think the solution is for more and better Europe to protect workers. Others want Europe out of the national level. I think it’s important that the Left sends people to Europe to fix the Treaties and come up with EU-level solutions.” @EstherLynchs #TUNE2019

[The Left in the European Parliament @Left_EU]

“We need to shorten the distance between the Parliament and workers to ensure the policies we make work for them. The Social Protocol is about people, jobs and the values we want to build our society on. To me a Social Protocol is about workers’ rights.” @rinakari #TUNE2019

According to Ester Lynch, confederal secretary of the ⁦ETUC, Left should not abandon the European project. Weakening of workers’ social rights is an European issue and cannot be treated only on national level. #tune2019

Instead of austerity EU should promote social rights and fair labour markets - also on global level. ITUC’s 4th congress will take place in Copenhagen on 2 Dec. Tackling social dumping is definitely a major topic. Let’s change the rules! #ITUC18 https://t.co/hHXkD5XZ4q @ituc
