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.
INCREDIBLE STRIKE 📷 UNI Europa joined 140,000 workers from across all of Belgium in protest of the Belgian government's austerity agenda today. This was one of the biggest strikes in the country in the last 25 years. We stand with workers and their unions in Belgium.
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…

Cadeau de mariage pour Jeff Bezos : les travailleurs d'Amazon débarquent au Parlement ! Le Parlement🇪🇺 organise une audition sur les violations de leurs droits dans les entrepôts. On a décidé qu'ils devaient s'inviter. La direction d'Amazon a refusé de jouer le jeu🧵⤵️
"Amazon est financé par le contribuable. 1,3 milliard € en 30 ans. Alors qu'Amazon refuse de payer des impôts. Plus de 50 milliards de chiffre d'affaire en Europe🇪🇺 et 0€ d'impôts... au Luxembourg🇱🇺"
BREAKING: Amazon has failed to show up in front of the European Parliament for the third time. UNI Europa demands tougher EU sanctions. #MakeAmazonPay uni-europa.org/news/after-ano…

The things that make you proud of your country 👊
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…
BREAKING🇪🇺: A strong reform of public procurement that links public contracts to collective bargaining could help cancel out Trump’s tariffs and boost growth. This comes as the EU Parliament's @EP_SingleMarket drafts a report on procurement reform. uni-europa.org/news/social-pu…
As the European Parliament’s IMCO Committee negotiates a report on reforming EU public procurement rules, data from companies shows that the biggest barrier in public tendering is not red tape, but the race to the bottom on price. uni-europa.org/news/european-…
Belgium’s government plans major cuts to social security. But this will only worsen the shortage of caregivers, caretakers, educators and counsellors. UNI Europa stands with these workers striking in Brussels today for a well-resourced social system. uni-europa.org/news/uni-europ…
