Hayat, like thousands of cleaners across Europe, used to work in the dark. But these times are over. UNI Europa, with our affiliates in the cleaning sector, is working with employers and clients to make daytime cleaning the norm across Europe. Join the movement now.

Fair working time is not a luxury - it’s about dignity, health, & real life. From care to retail, from cleaning to ICT: workers deserve time to live, not just to work. ✊ Unions make time fair. #WDDW25

A new UNI Europa report published today, on World Day for Decent Work, reveals that millions of workers across Europe’s service sectors face mounting risks from unfair and unsustainable working time arrangements. Read the whole report below. uni-europa.org/news/new-repor…

Amazon bosses hide and continue to refuse taking responsibility for the appalling working conditions in their warehouses. We banned their lobbyists from the 🇪🇺Parliament. Today in @EPSocialAffairs we restate our message: no respect for workers & democracy - no access 🇪🇺❌

Hearing @EPSocialAffairs on working conditions in Amazon warehouses. “We’re here on behalf of all working people, because Amazon sets global labour standards: driving inequality, environmental harm, and erosion of rights.” Amazon didn’t show up. Workers did. And always will. ✊

And pay your workers decent wages.

Cleaners like Hayat have seen their working conditions erode over past decades. Employers haven't bid for public contracts because of lowest-price competition. @EP_SingleMarket , we all want stronger collective bargaining in public procurement rules – and we want it now.

Amazon is moving into its new headquarters in Berlin. Today, UNI affiliate ver.di and activists protested and demanded a collective agreement. This comes ahead of a hearing on working conditions at Amazon in the EU Parliament next week. uni-europa.org/news/berlins-a…


Taxing Big Tech isn’t just about fairness - it's about defending Europe’s social model and protecting workers' rights. ✊We need an Amazon Tax, now.

“The real problem is the model: we shouldn’t be subsidising union-busting, tax-avoiding, anti-democratic companies". @ORoethig spoke to @euobs for this long piece on our proposal for an Amazon Tax. euobserver.com/digital/arb99e…
