Message delivered ✅ Right outside Council and Commission, working people and their unions have one call: fix it or sink it. No to opt-outs from labour law. No to undermining workers' rights. No to deregulation dressed up as "simplification". Yes to #QualityJobs! #FixOrSinkEUInc

We will keep fighting to "fix or sink the EU Inc" that would allow companies to evade national labour standards.
