'How do we promote cooperation between EU and countries of southern #Mediterranean, ensuring respect for #democracy, human and Workers' rights? We see from experience in some situations we are not even allowed to talk about human rights'

European Commission 🇪🇺

@EU_Commission

Decent work is the foundation of a decent life.

We are strengthening our efforts to promote #DecentWork worldwide by:

🔹 setting out a strategy with new and existing tools;
🔹 preparing a new legislation to ban products made by forced labour from entering the EU.

#SocialRights

Around the world:
🌐 160 million children are in child labour, and
🌐 24.9 million people are in a situation of forced labour.

These practices must stop.

The elimination of child labour and forced labour is at the heart of our strategy for decent work worldwide.

#SocialRights

Many workers worldwide still see their labour and social rights threatened daily.

We will reinforce our actions to change this situation, guided by the 4️⃣ elements of the universal concept of decent work. ↓

🧵What are the ILO and the EU doing to address the #digitaltransformation of work? In this new article @n_potocka and I examine a set of core initiatives such as the ILO’s Centenary Declaration on the #FutureOfWork and the EU Pillar of #SocialRights > bit.ly/IJCLLIRfl

We review the social acquis of both institutions and concentrate on the key analogies. They advocate towards building an adaptable labour market and securing the rights of non-standard workers, who are often excluded from the scope of labour and social protection

Over the last years, these institutions have acknowledged the vast potential brought about by technological progress, but also the urgency to ‘correct’ negative externalities that lead to profound vulnerabilities, social exclusion, and political resentment

In light of the recent events involving the owners of #Cannoli and their manager,
we at the Centre for Labour Research (CLR), in the interest of protecting the
fundamental human #right to #dignity, condemn any and all forms of #harassment.

2/12
The viral video in which the owners of Cannoli are seen singling out and
humiliating their manager due to his inability to speak the colonisers language for
their entertainment depicts a form of #workplaceharassment. Such behaviour is
unacceptable.

3/12
It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that each and every employee,
regardless of their #employment status, the sector of employment, or their
occupation feel safe, respected and included at the workplace.
