Labour market

A fair and efficient labour market is essential for upholding workers’ rights and ensuring fair competition in the construction industry. However, issues like undeclared work, social dumping, and bogus self-employment harm compliant SMEs and compromise the social rights of workers.

EBC actively works to improve EU labour market enforcement, participating in discussions to protect construction SMEs from unfair competition and ensure workers can exercise their social and labour rights fully.
