🚨 And in Hannover too, @social.verdi.de members are protesting today at the Health Ministers’ Conference against dangerous cuts to health and care funding.
Across Germany and across Europe, public service workers are saying the same thing: fund services, protect jobs, respect collective bargaining!
✊Solidarity with @social.verdi.de Bavaria, taking action today to defend healthcare and the social state.
Their call is at the heart of the #PublicServicesEmergency: no cuts to health services, no pressure on workers, no austerity at the expense of patients and communities!
Politico’s Morning Health Care newsletter picked up EPSU’s call: Europe must address the #PublicServicesEmergency.
This matters - because workers’ demands are reaching decision-makers.
Now we need action: more staff, fair pay, better conditions and quality public healthcare!
Join the @glu-network.bsky.social webinar to discuss how trade unions are building workers’ power to confront the rise of the far right.
Fight for public services is fight for democracy. EPSU will share how public service unions are responding to far-right attacks.

MEPs must reject it. Don’t side with the far right.

Hmm... what i miss is the disregard for social values...
Eg. Government Montenegro refuses to negotiate renewal of general collective agreement. Leaving approx. 100.000 with less protection. Unions organise a protest that the government forbids. Long way to go

And the @ec.europa.eu does not act. Rather wants to open Water Frame work Directive to make pollution easier
Drink water companies cleaning up dirt like #pfas of industry is good example of socialising the costs [we all pay] while profits are privatised

The German government published a proposal for reform of care [insurance, financing...]
It will postpone application of collective agreement wages till 2030 for elderly care workers, overwhelmingly women in low paid jobs
