MEPs ask the Commission to promote information for workers

(B2) The European Parliament has urged the European Commission to take swift action to ensure the proper implementation by Member States of all legislation concerning information and consultation of workers. A resolution in this direction was voted on May 10 according to a joint text of the PSE (Socialists), ALDE (Liberals and Democrats) and Greens. They ask that the Commission present a "calendar for the revision and modernization" not only of European legislation relating to the consultation and information of workers, but also that relating to "collective redundancies, the maintenance of workers' rights in case of business transfer”. Nb: this is not the first that the EP has made such a request, the last resolution dates from March 15, 2006.
