EU Inc: the risks to workers’ rights
<p>EU Inc, otherwise known as the 28th regime, has made a big splash in Brussels recently. In March of this year, the European Commission proposed what it terms a ‘single set of corporate rules across the EU’ that companies – with a particular focus on startups – could opt into rather than having to navigate the myriad of national legal regimes on the continent. It is a flagship policy of the Commission's agenda for a more competitive European economy. </p><p>The Commission has claimed that the proposed Regulation includes strong safeguards against abuse, but the labour movement has strongly criticised some of the proposal's elements that present a risk to hard-won labour rights in individual Member States and the threat it poses to worker representation in corporate governance. </p><p>In this discussion, Marcus Meyer-Erdmann and Sara Lafuente, senior researchers at the ETUI specialising in European industrial relations and worker participation, explain what's really at stake here. </p><p><br></p><p>To dive deeper into the ETUI's ongoing analysis of the 28th regime project, take a look at these two recent policy briefs: </p><p> <a href="https://www.etui.org/publications/innovation-or-evasion-how-28th-regime-eu-inc-undermines-collective-rights-and-shifts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Innovation or evasion?
