For UNI Europa at EU Social 🇪🇺 workshop on #LongTermCare workforce today, presenting good practices on Collective Bargaining in nursing homes in 🇨🇿 & 🇵🇱
📣 Lesson from our unions: #organizing & #bargaining the best response to win fair working conditions & quality care for all.

Today we launched the European Public Procurement Alliance in Strasbourg.

Our purpose is clear: We MUST revise the EU's #PublicProcurement directive.

Together with Agnes Jongerius Dennis Radtke Sara Matthieu 🇪🇺 and our friends such as UNI Europa we will work hard for this.

Strong message from Bangladesh ahead of tomorrow's European Parliament vote on EU law on due diligence, same day as 11th anniversary of Rana Plaza factory collapse. Victims are calling for a YES vote which would hold large companies accountable for workers’ & human rights abuses.

1.6m children work in cocoa production. Palm oil is one of the biggest drivers of deforestation. The Rana Plaza disaster claimed 1,134 lives

This is why we need a due diligence directive that holds business accountable for their actions - Isabelle Schömann

BREAKING: Today, Dennis Radtke, Agnes Jongerius, Sara Matthieu 🇪🇺 and Nikolaj Villumsen launch the “Public Procurement Alliance”.

It sets out to stop the downward cycle of public procurement — and build towards real change in the next EU mandate after #EUelections2024 .

uni-europa.org/news/members-o…

📌This week 11 years ago, the #RanaPlaza garment factory collapsed & killed 1,100+ workers.
📌Reminding the progress achieved with International Accord Foundation, Amin Amirul Haque, the GS of the National Shop Employees Federation of Bangladesh, highlighted the need for continued action.

We need to revise the EU's outdated directive on #PublicProcurement , and ensure that public money is not used to undermine fair working conditions - as I argue today, in the International Politics & Society with my colleagues Sara Matthieu 🇪🇺 Agnes Jongerius and Dennis Radtke.

We need to de-bunk the myth of competitiveness as just being about the lowest price.

It is an opportunity to uphold social values and high-quality jobs.
 
We need to revise the public procurement directive and breakdown this downward spiral of the market at the cost of people.

“We want to show the European Commission that the call for a revision is anchored broadly across the political spectrum”, write Dennis Radtke, Agnes Jongerius, Sara Matthieu 🇪🇺 and Nikolaj Villumsen.

The next EU Commission must reform the Public Procurement Directive.

A revision of the EU’s #publicprocurement framework is needed to reflect the interests of the citizens not companies that undermine European policies, write Dennis Radtke, Agnes Jongerius, Sara Matthieu 🇪🇺 and Nikolaj Villumsen.

Europe has shifted its view on sectoral collective bargaining, and it is not alone! Also in Canada, there is growing interest.
