Did you know you have rights that protect you at work? Rights that are there to safeguard you when job hunting. Rights that exist throughout your career and family life, whatever your age, gender, disability status, background or sexual orientation.
All these rights are anchored in the European Pillar of Social Rights and its Action Plan that was endorsed by all EU countries. The Action Plan sets out what Member States and the EU can do to turn the Pillar’s principles into a reality.
But it’s not always easy to understand what your rights are, how you can use them to improve your circumstances or where you can go to get more help.
That’s what this page is for. It’s your one-stop shop, to help you understand and exercise your rights, so that you can build the life, career and family that you desire. You will learn how the European Commission is working to create more jobs, fight inequality and social exclusion, by ensuring everyone can access high quality work and trainings. You will also discover where to find information and help in your own country.
