Citizens say\u00a0better living standards should be the priority for Europe in the new mandate, polling published<\/a>\u00a0by the European Parliament shows.<\/p>\n

Rising prices and the cost of living (42 per cent) and the economic situation (41 per cent) emerged as the top concerns of 26,000 citizens in the European Parliament\u2019s post-election Eurobarometer.<\/p>\n

The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) calls on the new European Commission to bring their actions into line with the priorities of citizens.<\/p>\n

The ETUC wrote<\/a> to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last week to set out its proposals for legislation and investment which would deliver a fair deal for workers.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the findings, ETUC General Secretary Esther Lynch said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThese results should be a wake-up call to the new European Commission whose actions have so far not reflected the clear priorities of citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cEurope is facing a quality jobs and social justice emergency and that is where working people want to the Commission\u2019s focus to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission should start by reinstating the \u2018quality jobs and social rights\u2019 job title. But most importantly, it needs to commit to concrete legislation for quality jobs and higher living standards rather than vague promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way to raise living standards is to increase the number of workers covered by collectively bargaining agreements and the EU can do this by ensuring companies which receive public contracts must respect workers\u2019 and trade union rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
