"But even before the law on the six-day work week comes into force on July 1, Greek workers work longer hours than any other workforce in Europe. With an average 41 hours per week, they work more than all other EU citizens, according to the EU's statistics agency, Eurostat. What's more, the pay they get for these long hours is low by European standards."

The House of Lords has amended the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Bill to remove the important proposed provisions relating to harassment at work by third parties as well as watering down preventative duties on employers https://www.ier.org.uk/news/house-of-lords-amends-worker-protection-amendment-of-equality-act-2010-bill/

#EU #AI #GenerativeAI #AIAct #LabourLaw #TradeUnions: "The EU's emerging AI act contains so little on workers' rights that Europe will need a separate AI-labour law, trade unions say.

Last Wednesday (14 June), the European Parliament adopted its position on the Artificial Intelligence Act — a game-changing set of rules for AI-based products and services.

MEPs inched further on labour rights than the original European Commission proposal.

But in the race to legislate potentially disruptive technologies, EU institutions are still largely overlooking the workers affected by incoming AI systems, unionists say.

AI is changing workers' lives in many ways."

In case anyone was still in any doubt…

The head of the International Labour Organisation has denied the org backs the UK's new proposed anti-strike laws, after UK ministers repeatedly suggested the ILO supported government plans to enforce "minimum service levels" during public sector strikes https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/64313013

The Court of Justice of the EU has ruled that EU anti-discrimination legislation applies to to all those who perform 'personal work' for another party, regardless of contract type, including self-employed workers - analysis by

Pablo Sánchez Centellas, a spokesperson for the European Federation of Public Service Unions, has eloquently described the UK govt’s claim that its latest anti-strike bill is similar to laws on in mainland Europe as “bollocks”

As he and other European trade unionists point out, other countries have much greater protection for the right to strike, compared to the UK’s restrictive position https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/minimum-service-law-grant-shapps-europe/

The govt has ‘put to one side’ plans for a single labour enforcement body announced in June 2021, which would have had power to enforce laws and impose significant fines for breaches. This leaves the current weak and fragmented enforcement landscape in place. Yet they’ve found time for repeated measures against industrial action https://www.ier.org.uk/news/government-stalls-proposed-workers-rights-watchdog/
