Subjects: Health and safety at work, occupational medicine

Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): AGIUS SALIBA Alex (S&D)

Summary

The dossier concerns the right to disconnect, with recommendations to the Commission. The amendments invoke International Labour Organization conventions, the European Social Charter, social-partner framework agreements on telework and digitalisation, and CJEU judgments on working time, describe the 'always-on' culture from digital tools and its effects on work-life balance, note rising home working during the COVID-19 crisis, and address workplace monitoring under the European Convention on Human Rights.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
