EXCELLENT NEWS!!! THE KEY PROPOSALS OF OUR EU PROJECT ARE NOW MAKING THEIR ROUTE THROUGH THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Following the Gaby Bischoff’s initiative, which we informed about in the NEWS section of this website, please find hereunder the AMENDMENTS to Bischoff’s Report that the MEP Brando Benifei, Elisabetta Gualmini, Pierfrancesco Majorino have just introduced and that Gaby Bischoff herself has endorsed.

These amendments do contain the main concepts, ideas and proposals that our EU PROJECT VS/2019/0016 had elaborated in terms of a review of the EU Directives on Employees Involvement:

  • the demand to streamline and simplify definitions and procedures within the several EU Directives on the Enployee Involvement, in order to make them effectively applicable for both employers and employees;
  • the connection to be structured between the unprecedented resources from the Recovery Plan and the employees’ involvement in managing the effects of the investments that will be made through those resources;
  • the demand of a timely information, consultation and participation about the transnational companies’ business plans to be integrated by a specific social plan dealing with the effects of the business plans on working conditions and jobs;
  • the demand of a timely information, consultation and participation about the potential effects of digital innovations on the quantity and quality of jobs. 

We are proud to stress such a relevant and concrete result and follow-up of our Project, also being aware that this route will go on over the next months until next January, including a specific initiative by the EU Parliament to review the 2009/38 Directive on EWC. 

Please see the Amendments hereunder to be read alongside the Gaby Bischoff’s Report which we have published last week in this Website, in the LATEST NEWS section EVENT 1st JULY – REPORT
