With major restructuring happening across Europe, the European Parliament is sending a clear message to both workers and employers: We stand for an industrial strategy that creates good jobs, protects workers’ rights, and encourages social dialogue and collective bargaining.

In the face of monumental geopolitical shifts, we have to make the European Union stronger through the enhanced economic governance that upholds the commitment to social justice and sustainability; urge the Socialists and Democrats as the European Parliament adopts its annual reports on the European semester today.

The Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament firmly believe that ensuring Europe’s security also means preserving its unique social model. To achieve this, it is essential to protect and strengthen the European Social Fund - the only EU fund entirely dedicated to social priorities, including the fight against child poverty.
