😵‍💫Social partners @BusinessEurope & @etuc_ces are miles apart in @RoxanaMinzatu’s “quality jobs” consultation. Agree on revising workplace & display directives then diverge. ETUC wants 10+ new laws, no dialogue on them; BusinessEurope wary but open to talks. Tough road ahead!

🚨 @RoxanaMinzatu wants to scrap the guaranteed minimum funding for social dialogue in the new rules for the European Social Fund (ESF). The Commission’s draft? Vague wording—no binding article. Social partners sidelined? (Left pic. Current ESF+, Right pic. draft ESF)

Skills gaps across Europe are holding back our society and economy, and lowering labour productivity - impacting our competitiveness. Next week I will launch a strategy to address this - the Union of Skills will support better education, improving skills and lifelong learning.

💡At the July 18 meeting in the @EUCouncil, the 1st @HU24EU compromise on the #Traineeship Directive sparked mixed reactions. Many welcomed the softer approach, but some MS & COM raised concerns. Feedback by Sept 6—eyes now on the pivotal Oct 3 meeting! #SocialEurope #HU24EU

EU-kommissionen pekar ut den svenska ungdomsarbetslösheten som ett särskilt problemområde. I den prognos @Unionen släppte i mitten av november djupdök vi i just ungdomsarbetslösheten och konstaterar att problemet är långt mycket mindre än vad det ser ut som. Häng med i en tråd!⬇️

A good thing that the Swedish Presidency @sweden2023eu proposal for a council mandate on the new Single Market Emergency Instrument now respects the #RightToStrike! The text is to be examined by ambassadors on 7 June. #socialeurope #arbetsmarknad #socialdialogue #EU20023SE
