Today, we rallied in Brussels outside the @ec.europa.eu and @consilium.europa.eu together with workers and trade unionists from all across Europe against deregulation and social dumping. We will keep fighting to "fix or sink the EU Inc" that would allow companies to evade national labour standards.

The new Eurobarometer survey shows that Europeans care mostly about socio-economic issues, but don't believe the EU can address their concerns. The reform of EU public procurement rules is an opportunity to change that. Full story: www.uni-europa.org/news/eu-proc...
