    I have been proud to be the Commissioner for Jobs and social rights and to deliver on both.I do not understand what the new Title means.I have pushed skills but social and labour rights cannot be limited to skills and preparedness what ever this word means

    This is a good day for social Europe. We have reached an agreement on the directive on adequate minimum wages in the EU. This is especially important at a time when many households are worried about making ends meet. My thanks to all teams! #EUminimumwages #SocialRights

    A pleasure to welcome 🇪🇸 Ministers @ionebelarra and @IreneMontero to the Berlaymont today to discuss an issue that affects us all and which has been undervalued: care. We count on Spain’s support for the European Care Strategy which the @EU_Commission will present in Autumn.

    🇪🇸 Positive exchanges today in Spain with Ministers @NadiaCalvino @Yolanda_Diaz_ and @joseluisescriva on social issues. Impressed by the huge reforms in the pipeline. These will help modernise the economy, skill people effectively, and allow for a sustainable recovery.

    It‘s high time for real Republicans who respect the values of the party of A.Lincoln to speak up as you are doing and as you did four years ago to resist this dangerous MAGA policy

    I am very happy that the Council has agreed its general approach on Adequate Minimum Wages. I thank the Slovenian Presidency @EU2021SI and also 🇩🇪 and 🇵🇹 Presidencies for their work on this important file. An encouraging message from Brussels.

    The #SocialEconomy has a unique, crucial part to play in the crisis and recovery, especially in fighting #inequality + helping the most vulnerable. Support to social enterprises and entities is vital. On Friday I wrote to 🇪🇺EU #labour ministers to encourage action 👇 #Coronavirus

    A pleasure to be in Madrid to see Minister @ionebelarra ahead of the Spanish Presidency of the EU. We discussed urgent social issues including long term care, the #EUChildGuarantee and combatting homelessness. Confident we can make good progress together.

    70% of workers on minimum wages find it hard to make ends meet. Many of them are doing essential jobs on the frontline of #Covid19. Applauding then is not enough, we have to recognise the value of their work. #EUMinimumWages
