Minimum Wages in the EU – Committee vote on the trilogue agreement - 12.07.22

Following the last successful trilogue on the Directive "Adequate minimum wages in the EU", the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs voted on the provisional agreement that was reached, aiming to tackle in-work poverty and raise standards of living, foster collective bargaining, and enhance workers' rights to minimum wage protection. In a context of rising prices, but within the respect of national traditions, this directive is a major milestone for European social policies.
