Trilogue ‘ Transparant and Predictable Working Conditions ’

In 2020, the Commission published a proposal for a directive to improve the adequacy for fair minimum wages in the EU. It is meant to not only protect workers in the EU, but also help to close the gender pay gap, strengthen incentives to work and create a level playing field in the Single Market. Dennis RADTKE (EPP, DE), and Agnes JONGERIUS (S&D, NL), co-rapporteurs, talk to the press, following Parliament’s employment committee votes on an Adequate minimum wages in the EU.

Press conference by Dennis RADTKE (EPP, DE), and Agnes JONGERIUS (S&D, NL), co-rapporteurs on the directive on adequate minimum wages in the European Union

Even though all EU countries have some practice of minimum wage, in most member states this remuneration often does not cover all living costs. Over recent years and in the context of the economic and social crisis engendered by the Covid-19 outbreak, the creation of a European minimum wage is increasingly considered as a useful instrument to ensure fair wages and social inclusion. This infoclip illustrates part time workers, seasonal workers and temporary unskilled employees (cleaning staff, handlers, supermarket assistants, harvesters, grape pickers, cinema ushers, waiters, forklift truck operator, delivery drivers, cashier...).
