7. Stresses that social protection, and protection by collective agreements and collective bargaining, should be available to all workers irrespective of the legal status and the duration of their work relationship; calls on the Commission and the Member States to guarantee effective protection for workers who perform work in the context of an employment relationship, and a comprehensive policy response that includes policies towards reducing and ultimately eradicating precarious work; calls for policies that empower workers by strengthening social dialogue and promoting the extension of collective bargaining, ensuring that all workers can access and exercise their right to associate, and to bargain collectively, freely and without fear;

Amendment 221 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Calls on the European Commission and the Member States within their respective competences to ensure that self-employed workers can be covered by collective bargaining coverage, given that many of self-employed workers in an employee-like situation are placed outside collective bargaining structures and trade union representation; notes that the right of self-employed workers to associate freely may be in question in several occasions if their association could be regarded as forming a cartel, running a risk of being put in conflict with EU rules on anti-competitive practices; stresses that in this context, the use by the Commission and Member States of the ILO understanding of ‘worker’ rather than the more narrowly defined ‘employee’, could be helpful to better understand how fundamental principles and rights at work apply, the enjoyment of which EU competition rules should not impede;
