👏👏👏👏👏 to the #EuropeanParliament massive support to the report calling for a #JustTransition Directive. Europe is currently too focused on crisis. The EP confirmed that we need legislation to fill the existing gaps in legislation in order to ensure mandatory and timely anticipation and the management of change. We stand ready to support the further development of the Just Transition framework in the context of the Quality Jobs Act in the coming months. industriAll Europe Judith Kirton-Darling

Today at the “ shaping the future of the textiles ecosystem” stakeholder meeting, Judith Kirton-Darling outlined: Textiles are one among 18 sectors facing difficulties, our recent syndex report highlighted the Difficult situation thr textile industry is has undergone in Europe during the past decades. 🚨 Companies closures 🚨 jobs losses 🚨 delocalisations. Trade unions strategy to combat this is to Advocacy for: 👕 Social policy: fair wages and quality jobs 👗 Industrial policy: Buy European, social conditionalities in public fundings, massive investments and a strong industrial strategy at EU level, in which the textile industry would be recognised and visible. 👞 Measures to boost demand for EU fairly-made textile products ✅ Just Transition: our JT Manifesto in the textile and garment sector The competitiveness of the textile industry relies on workers and companies, majority of which are SMEs. We need a proper industrial strategy to relocate and maintain the industry in Europe.

Buy European’ must mean quality jobs in Europe 🇪🇺✅ Together with CES - ETUC we urge the European Commission to ensure its ‘buy European’ approach creates and sustains quality jobs in Europe - in both services and manufacturing. Made in Europe must mean more than assembling parts on European soil. It must uphold the values that define us: enforceable social standards, strong workers’ rights, decent wages, and access to training. It must protect our environmental leadership by ensuring products made in Europe meet the highest sustainability criteria. And it must deliver economic fairness—growth that improves people’s lives, not just headline GDP. This is our moment to rebuild Europe’s industrial strength on our terms. Made in Europe must mean made with quality, made with responsibility, and made with the people of Europe at its heart.” Said Judith Kirton-Darling https://lnkd.in/epFwQD_2

🤖 💻 There is growing awareness of AI implications in terms of employment, work organisation but also digital sovereignty, ethics, and democracy at work. In 2024, AI adoption in European manufacturing was still below 13% — meaning most challenges still lie ahead. There is no technological determinism: what matters is how we choose to use AI. AI doesn’t fire people. This is why, people and policies must decide how technology is implemented. AI must be shaped collectively, and the productivity gains it generates should be fairly shared. We need robust social dialogue structures at all levels and regulatory framework. 📄 👨🏼💼 European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) Aida Ponce Del Castillo Isabelle Barthes Camille Franger Valerica Dumitrescu OECD - OCDE

Chemical workers emergency summit : Joint declaration In a joint declaration at todays chemical workers emergency summit, trade unions set out a series of urgent demands. These include strong job protection, meaningful social dialogue and anticipation of change; binding social conditionality on public funding with site guarantees; negotiated decarbonisation roadmaps; and major investment in training, upskilling and reskilling to ensure a Just Transition that leaves no worker behind. Trade unions also called for decisive action to secure affordable, stable and predictable energy prices for industry, including a common European industrial electricity price, better use of ETS revenues to support decarbonisation, and greater integration of renewable and baseload-capable energy systems. They stressed that decarbonisation must go hand in hand with maintaining production, wages and working conditions in Europe. Read the press release and declaration here :
