The work of essential workers is critical for our societies but unfortunately not sufficiently valued.

It’s not just a question of wages but also recognition of their work.

Let’s keep pushing for essential workers to be valued as they should.

Thanks to International Labour Organization Eurofound

At International Labour Organization & Eurofound event this morning on decent jobs and work for essential workers, Nicolas SCHMIT stresses that #domesticwork is too often overlooked and the issue should be put on the political agenda.

Zuzugeben sich so über seinen“fast Freund Putin“geirrt zu haben mag ja ehrlich erscheinen,das befähigt einen aber nicht ein so pauschales Urteil über die Ukraine zu fällen, ohne geopolitisches Augenmaß,aber zur Zufriedenheit des „fastFreundes“.

Europe is facing a housing crisis.
 
This affects everyone, and prevents young people from leaving their family homes, forcing them to delay major decisions in their lives.
 
The right to decent and affordable housing is at the heart of Social Europe.

Second day of meaningful exchanges in 🇱🇻 with members of Parliament, Minister of Welfare Uldis Augulis and social partners LBAS LDDK

The 🇪🇺 Directives on minimum wages and on platform work main topics of discussion.

Strong social dialogue is key!

“Don’t take democracy for granted”says President Biden in a powerful speech warning on threats to democracy in the US.This also applies to the EUwhere democracy is under threat.We have to combat those who are undermining democracy

Thank you, Latvia! 🇱🇻

Had very good meeting with Finance Minister Arvils Ašeradens then visited 2 EU funded projects, one training kids in technical professions and one helping people with special needs live independently.

Impressive results thanks to the caring and engaged staff.

Growing inequalities and labour market insecurities are hindering global economic recovery.

Political commitment and ambitious, integrated policy approaches, are needed to make decent jobs, universal social protection, labour rights & just transitions a reality for all.

Vocational education and training is a great way for young people to find jobs they are excited about and for companies to find their creative and innovative employees of tomorrow.

Excellency in VET is made by trainers and the VET community that came together in Amsterdam today

Interesting exchanges with🇳🇱 Minister of labour Karien van Gennip and Minister of education Robbert Dijkgraaf

We should give all Europeans the skills and opportunities they need, to thrive in today’s labour market and face the challenges of the future.
