The question is what public money should reward?
Fair wages, direct employment and safe working conditions?
Or social dumping and labour crime hidden in long subcontracting chains?
EFBWW says: no public money for exploitation.

For the first time, EFBWW took part in an on-site labour inspection together with the European Labour Authority.
In construction, cross-border work and subcontracting chains make enforcement difficult. This joint inspection in Iceland shows why cooperation on the ground matters.
#LabourMobility
A conversation on a construction site can make the difference between knowing your rights and not knowing them.
Yesterday, we joined @acvbievakbond.bsky.social Journée de chantier in Belgium, meeting workers directly at their workplaces.
Workers build Europe. They deserve to know their rights.
Across Europe, the same conclusion is being reached.
Spain, Belgium and Norway have all introduced measures limiting subcontracting chains in public construction projects.
Public money should create quality jobs, not perfect conditions for labour crime and exploitation.

EU ministers discuss the 28th regime (EU Inc) today.
Allowing companies to operate without real presence creates more letterbox companies, where responsibility exists on paper, but disappears in practice.
EU Inc. extends that model across the internal market and should be rejected #28thRegime

Construction is different.
Mobile worksites. High labour mobility. Difficult enforcement. Fragmented supply chains.
The proposed Construction Services Act does not address the realities of the construction sector.

“Stop the mafia in construction”
That’s how Swedish unions describe what long subcontracting chains enable.
Across Europe, trade unions confront the same failed system that allows exploitation of workers and lets responsibility disappear down the chain.

#EUinc cannot become a backdoor to weaken workers’ rights.
The proposed 28th Company Regime risks bypassing collective bargaining and national systems. Europe must put workers’ needs above corporate profits.
@estherlynch.bsky.social was with @left.eu today to highlight the risks to workers.

Summer is on its way, but for many the season signifies dangerous working conditions more than sunny beach holidays
