Action Plan for the European Pillar of Social Rights is out

On 4 March 2021, the Commission launched the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan outlining concrete actions to further implement the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights.

The Action Plan sets three headline targets for the EU to be achieved by 2030: employment, training and reducing the risk of poverty.

HOTREC welcomes the targets, but regrets that at a time that the hospitality sector is facing its biggest challenge of all times, due to COVID-19, legislative proposals such as the Pay Transparency Directive or the Minimum Wages were introduced, which will impact directly the industry and will possibly mean fewer jobs.
