Today’s vote is important for a number of reasons. It demonstrates a commitment on the part of a large number of the political groups represented in the Parliament to play a significant role in defending the European social model and fundamental rights against neo-liberal ideas.
“It is proof that a strong Social Europe really does exist,” declared ETUC General Secretary John Monks.
Equally, the vote represents a move towards a fairer Europe that values the health and safety of its workers, social dialogue, and a better balance between work and family life.
