Shouldn’t this still be dependent on local average wage and cost of living?
Sad they changed their mind. Why support an evidently inferior system? The EU should take after Scandinavia, not the other way around.
Ugh… Disappointed.
Kick Sweden out of Nordics!
​
Nordics is all about strong Unions. If Sweden wants to reduce their importance, they are enabling European low wages.
Late is better than never
I’m fine with an EU minimum wage, as long as it doesn’t eventually hurt employment.
and as is becoming more and more typical, the EU will impose something on members that is worse than what we have already. I thought the whole point of the EU (beside the obvious ones) were to lift up parts of europe to a better state, not press down the already well-functioning parts?
I am unsure how related the Nordic system is to Austria’s ‘social partnership’ but I’d love me a general minimum wage as backup. Tie it to inflation by law and the unions’ bargaining power would only be strengthened IMO. Also I work in a branch that doesn’t have a union, so no minimum wage for me. If national or European, I’ll have it either way.
Spineless. What’s the fucking point of voting SocDem when they roll over to liberalism like this.
Once again Sweden betrays their Nordic brethren.
Good. Sweden has a terrible system. The Union is weaker than ever and the extreme immigration policies has created a ‘serf class’ that does not have collective bargaining and toxic working conditions, lowering the standards for everyone else.
Food delivers earning 5e/h in expensive Sweden? Construction workers living on the construction site in cold caravans without toilets? Shipbuilders sent abroad as slaves from North Korea?
Fuck the Union. They are just feeding their own fat bellies.
🙁
the EU minimum wage makes no sense
it goes from 300 euro in Bulgaria to 2k in Luxembourg
What’s the point of this? Surely this is member state jurisdiction? Who is this supposed to help in which countries?
Good for them, I hope we’ll finally do the same

The comment section here is a perfect example of “I only read the title, but I am an expert on the subject, so let me ELI5 it for you”
Fuck
Isn’t it strange that both the employers and unions agree that this is bad? Usually if the employers are pro something it’s not good for the employees.
