Adequate minimum wages in the European Union
This file concerns adequate minimum wages in the European Union, handled under the ordinary legislative procedure in which Parliament and the Council of the EU legislate jointly to produce binding EU law. It was examined by the Employment and Social Affairs committee together with Women's Rights and Gender Equality, in the areas of social inclusion, workers' rights and labour law, and social dialogue. The tabled amendments contest the proposed directive on a framework for the promotion of adequate minimum wages, some calling on Parliament to reject the Commission proposal, invoking Article 153 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, subsidiarity objections of national parliaments, and collective bargaining based labour models. It shares workers' protection subjects with related files including a strong social Europe file.

Plenary votes
2 roll-call votesIn 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 →
