✊ Migrant workers who were being paid as little as €2/h on a Belgian building site are demonstrating for the recognition of their rights as victims of human trafficking
From
Jan Buelens
Replying to
So far, so good. However, as part of the reform, the Commission plans to repeal an existing regulation on the functioning of the single market which explicitly safeguards the right to strike
No such safeguard has been included in the new legislation
Replying to
La CES a adressé une lettre à la Commission européenne plaidant pour qu’elle s’assure que le droit de grève soit protégé dans la nouvelle législation
Replying to
« Le droit de grève est indissociable du droit des travailleurs à négocier collectivement et ne peut dès lors être limité par des mesures d’urgence. La réponse à une crise ne peuvent jamais être invoquées pour remettre en cause ou ignorer les droits fondamentaux » 💬
Replying to
"The right to strike is indissociable from workers’ right to collective bargaining and as such cannot be restricted by contingency measures. Crisis preparedness and response must never be used as means to undermine or set aside fundamental rights" - 💬

Replying to
Les syndicats s’en inquiètent du fait que cela implique qu’une grève pourrait être considérée comme étant une « crise », ce qui affaiblirait l’action collective en violation des droits internationaux tels que ceux inscrits dans la propre Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’UE
Replying to
La s’apprête à publier ce jeudi sa proposition de règlement pour un « instrument du marché unique pour les situations d’urgence » qui instaurerait des mesures destinées à garantir la disponibilité de biens et de services de première nécessité lors de toute crise
Replying to
Cependant, dans le cadre de cette réforme, la Commission envisage d’abroger un règlement existant* sur le fonctionnement du marché unique qui protège explicitement le droit de grève
Aucune protection de ce type n’est prévue dans la nouvelle législation
Replying to
The ETUC is concerned that would mean a strike could be considered a “crisis”, which would undermine collective action in violation of the international rights such as the EU’s own Charter of Fundamental Rights and Social Charter
