European Policy Centre (EPC) study makes the case for greater support of public services and its personnel

The European Policy Centre (EPC) has published a new study on ‘Well-performing public services for a fair and resilient European society’. Bringing forward evidence from the areas of administration, healthcare, education and public order and safety, the study showcases the importance of reinforced support and investments in public services and its personnel – needed urgently already before the Covid pandemic and even more so now as the socio-economic fallout of the Corona crisis unfolds.

CESI on collective bargaining for the self-employed

CESI published a new position on the conciliation of EU competition law with the right to collective bargaining for the self-employed. In the position, which is part of a response to a consultation which the European Commission is currently undertaking, CESI calls on the European Commission clarify how those in precarious solo-employment may benefit from a right to collective bargaining, and hence higher and adequate wages, without interfering with EU competition law, which currently may forbid this right on the grounds that this would constitute an illegal cartel-forming.
