Establishment and Termination of Employment Relationship Standardization Act

[Czech Slavia]

Mr. Deputy Speaker the objective of this proposal is, as was already stated, the protection of one of the basic human rights, the right to work. And I believe that basic human rights such as right to life or the right to work, which has so far been over looked, should be protected by the Union.

I fully understand that we should push towards achieving fair laws around the Union, which is what this proposal aims to do. I don't see any way in which passing fair basic rules could damage any member states.

I would also appreciate it, if we could focus more on actual issues instead of focusing on which Councillor supports what, when considering proposed legislation.

I absolutely understand the desire for national laws to be respected but protection from unfair dismissal is an essential right. I do have some reservations from some sections as an employer myself but these can be worked around. I do believe it is the right place to protect labour rights at a European level and it is one of the limited areas the EU should be involved in since any other levle of legislation could lead to a race to the bottom as countries try and make it easier for big selfish corporations to fire at will and degrade conditions. Only by preventing the playing off nations against each other by having common standards can this be prevented. If countries are already good enough much like the Neurodivergent act then there should be no issue with this passing.

I would like to request a debate extension.

If I may, I would like to address some of the points raised by some Councillors. The EU enshrines gay marriage, clean water, and net neutrality as rights, among many other things. These are just as imposing, if not more so, than the legislation presented to us.

There was an argument made regarding bureaucracy, but not a single institution is established by this act, and regardless it should not be as difficult to enforce as such equally important things as gay marriage, clean water, and net neutrality.
