The proposed Directive for an Adequate Minimum Wage has caused a fundamental discussion on the competence of the EU and on the consequences for social partner autonomy and collective bargaining systems.
European sector employers from the tech & industry, chemicals, cleaning & facility services, retail & wholesale, agriculture, hotel & gastronomy and private employment services sector brought together their legal experts and practitioners in one technical seminar to have a closer look at the legal and practical impact of the proposal.
The speakers exchanged with the participants on the risks of the proposal and suggest different approaches to the matter, focused on the conflict of competence and addressed the impact on existing collective bargaining systems. For a summary of the discussion, check out this document.
