Transparent and predictable working conditions

Adottati on 23/05/2018
Riferimento: 
SOC/572-EESC-2018-00300-00-01-AC-TRA
Referral: 
COM(2017) 797 final 2017/0355 COD
Rapporteur: 
Christian BÄUMLER (Workers - GR II / Germany)
Co-rapporteur: 
Vladimíra DRBALOVÁ (Czech Republic)

The EESC supports transparent and predictable working conditions for all workers, including in atypical employment, as a concrete step towards implementing the European Social Pillar. The definition of worker and employer should be clarified in the Commission's proposal and on-demand workers be guaranteed a minimum number of hours or pay. The EESC finds the provisions relating to minimum requirements relating to working conditions acceptable, but recommends clarification of certain aspects, recommending a strong role for social dialogue and that responsibility be left up to the national level.

This initiative brings clear EU added value with a key technology which will help to tackle the most challenging issues of our modern society and will ultimately be beneficial for our well-being, competitiveness and jobs.

Rapporteur: 
Josep PUXEU ROCAMORA (Employers - GR I / Spain)
Co-rapporteur: 
Mário SOARES (Portugal)

The EESC believes that an agreement of this nature will only be possible if it is balanced, beneficial to both parties in the medium  and long-term and does not sacrifice any particular sector (such as farming or industry), region or country. Under no circumstances can the AA be based on a poor deal...
