Simplification, yes. Deregulation of fundamental rights, no. Concerns are growing ahead of tomorrow’s Antici Simplification talks on the #DigitalOmnibus and its impact on #GDPR, workers’ data and trustworthy AI.

🔺 @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu’s pact against "gold-plating" runs counter to both the spirit and the letter of #SocialEurope. EU law sets minimum standards, not maximum ceilings. Stronger worker protections are not regulatory failures. They are the point!

Thomas @setomwork.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Sweden is falling behind on EU labour law. The #PayTransparency Directive is delayed. The #PlatformWork Directive will almost certainly also be implemented after the deadline.

💬Social dialogue & collective bargaining are business assets, not compliance burdens. The Commission's CS3D guidelines should recognise their role in strengthening due diligence, improving risk prevention and supporting responsible business conduct. #CS3D #SocialDialogue

👨‍⚖️@unionen.bsky.social welcomes the ICJ advisory opinion affirming the right to strike as fundamental under ILO Convention 87. Confirms long-standing ILO practice and strengthens global workers’ rights. Not binding, but carries major legal and political weight.

📢 On Wednesday, Commissioner @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu will point to remote work as a short‑term measure to help reduce energy demand. 👩🏽‍💻 It is one ex. among several suggested to Member State, not an EU requirement, in response to the current #energy 🔋situation.

Thomas @setomwork.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Psychosocial risks must be addressed 🧐 but MEP Ceulemans’ report goes too far. By prescribing how employers must delegate prevention tasks, it risks blurring accountability & weakening the core principle: management holds ultimate #OSH responsibility. 🛑Delete art. 15!

Thomas @setomwork.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

⚠️Swedish Gov. @ninalarsson.bsky.social wants to renegotiate the #PayTransparency Directive! She wants to delay implement. & push for simpler rules. Sweden’s bill to implement @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social & @hadjalahbib.bsky.social's dir. will not move forward. t.co/mJUCPLJW83

🆕MEP Ceulemans’s draft report urging @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social to propose an EU directive on psychosocial risks is out! These risks matter, but must be tackled together with physical risks. 🧑🏽‍💻👷🏼‍♀️ Moving forward, the role of social partners in workplace health & safety must be safeguarded!

😵‍💫Social partners @businesseurope.bsky.social & @etuc-ces.bsky.social are miles apart in @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social’s “quality jobs” consultation. Agree on revising workplace & display directives then diverge. ETUC wants 10+ new laws, no dialogue on them; BusinessEurope wary but open to talks.

♦️@roxanaminzatu.bsky.social promised in November a “new action plan” for the European Pillar of Social Rights. Roxana now confirms: no new plan — just a review of the 2021 one. Smart pragmatism or a sign of fading ambition?

🤔Blow to Mercosur, or just a bump in the road? 🇪🇺⚖️ A narrow majority in the European Parliament has voted to send the EU–Mercosur trade deal to the EU’s top court for a legality check. A cross‑party move that now throws the landmark agreement into serious uncertainty.

ℹ️ The @eppgroup.bsky.social voted down the explicit call for a Directive on Just Transitions. The new EP’s unwillingness to call for legislation on #SocialEurope follows its pre-Christmas vote on rules for AI at work. The ball is now in @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social’s court.

Next week, the EP votes on a request to @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social to propose a Just Transition Directive on working conditions, inclusion, consultation & health & safety. Will the EP endorse a clear call for legislation, or again stop short of it, as it did on algo. management?

🤔 @businesseurope.bsky.social champions “contractual freedom” to fight the EU’s 30-day payment term proposal — yet it’s also pushing for a CSRD value-chain cap that limits what big firms can ask of suppliers. So… how fundamental is that “freedom” really? #LatePayments #CSRD #omnibus
