The rights of live-in care workers (own-initiative opinion)

Priimtos on 21/09/2016
Nuoroda: 
SOC/535-EESC-2016-00941-00-00-ac
Rapporteur: 
Adam ROGALEWSKI (Workers - GR II / Poland)

Europe's population is getting older. While demand for homecare grows, exploitative conditions persist among "live-in" carer workers, who work in the least regulated informal and semi-formal segments of the sector. The EESC calls on the European Union to work closely with Member States to coordinate the supply and mobility of live-in care workers and respect their rights as part of an overall approach to improve this sector.

No EU institution has so far addressed the issues surrounding live-in care workers, a social group that is expanding as population ages in Europe. The EESC believes that their existence in the European labour market must be recognised and the quality of the services they deliver improved. They should be treated in a similar way to other care workers and enjoy similar protection. Financial support for care recipients also needs to be made available through adequate long-term and sustainable social investment.

Steel: Preserving sustainable jobs and growth in Europe

Priimtos on 04/07/2016
Nuoroda: 
CCMI/146-EESC
Referral: 
COM(2016) 155 final
Rapporteur: 
Andrés Barceló Delgado (Employers - GR I / Spain)
Co-rapporteur: 
Enrico Gibellieri (Italy)

If the message of this opinion should be summarised in a sentence, this would be: "Enough is enough; rules must be respected".

Steel industry is at the forefront of granting MES to China. However, the opinion does not tackle the legal and political side of granting MES to China (CCMI/144). It focuses on the Commission's communication and puts forward specific additional measures to provide Europe's steel industry with the level playing field it needs to preserve growth and jobs.

The changing nature of employment relationships and its impact on maintaining a living wage (exploratory opinion requested by the Dutch presidency)

Priimtos on 25/05/2016
Nuoroda: 
SOC/533-EESC-2016-00137-00-00-ac-tra
Rapporteur: 
Kathleen WALKER SHAW (United Kingdom)

The nature of work and employment relationships is developing rapidly. The impact on the labour market and standards, economy, tax and social security systems and the living wage need to be assessed and grey areas in rights and protections addressed. The challenge is to encourage innovation and deliver positive outcomes for a sustainable and competitive social market economy. The EESC considers it a priority to develop social welfare models adapted to cover more flexible forms of employment. This should be given consideration in the development of the EU Pillar of Social Rights.

Fairer labour mobility within the EU (exploratory opinion requested by the Dutch presidency)

Priimtos on 27/04/2016
Nuoroda: 
SOC/531-EESC-2016-00258-00-00-ac-tra
Rapporteur: 
Laura GONZÁLEZ DE TXABARRI ETXANIZ (Workers - GR II / Spain)
Co-rapporteur: 
Dorthe ANDERSEN (Workers - GR II/Denmark)

The opinion, as adopted by the SOC section, recalled that labour mobility is a cornerstone of the internal market and can help to bring employment opportunities and prosperity to European citizens and companies. When conducted under fair conditions and when it offers a positive option, such mobility can be enriching and beneficial for workers, employers and society as a whole.

Therefore, special effort is needed to guarantee and promote the free movement of workers in the EU abolishing any discrimination based on nationality, avoiding unjustified restrictions for both workers and businesses.

Integration of refugees in the EU (exploratory opinion requested by the Dutch presidency)

Priimtos on 27/04/2016
Nuoroda: 
SOC/532-EESC-2016-00262-00-00-ac-tra
Rapporteur: 
Christa SCHWENG (Employers - GR I / Austria)
Co-rapporteur: 
Panagiotis GKOFAS (Diversity Europe - GR III/Greece)

EU Member States face the arrival of many refugees, who need to be integrated into the host societies once their protected status is granted. The EESC is convinced that integration is a necessity for the preservation of social cohesion. This exploratory opinion, drawn up at the request of the Dutch Presidency of the EU, clarifies the meaning of "integration" and looks at comparability with previous refugee movements, successful integration measures applied in the various EU member states, and the financing of integration measures for refugees, resulting in a set of best practices and recommendations.

The Employment Guidelines cover job creation, skills supply, well-functioning labour markets, social protection and fighting poverty. They should set quantified objectives for employment and poverty reduction, and support entrepreneurship and the social economy. Public investment should not be considered as expenditure. Workers' mobility should safeguard the transferability of their social rights.
