EU consultation
112 submissions from 111 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission received 124 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 112 from organizations. Not shown: 13 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. About this data →
44 submissions from industry (companies and their trade associations) against 44 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations: a body that filed twice is counted twice.

An EU regulation on working conditions in subcontracting chains is needed to ensure fair competition and protect workers rights throughout the entire chain. Currently, subcontracting chains are often used to separate power and profits from risks and responsibilities, while reducing labour costs. This can lead to unfair competition, deteriorating working conditions, and the erosion of collective labour rights.

1. Telework and the Right to Disconnect The issue of teleworking and the right to disconnect is already sufficiently covered, both at the European level and within national legislation. Where a culture of constant availability exists, this is not a matter that should be addressed through additional or new regulations. Rather, it is a matter of the proper enforcement and application of the existing legal framework.

The EU should ensure the responsible use of algorithmic management by increasing transparency about how these systems operate, ensuring human oversight of decisions, setting limits on surveillance and data collection, implementing controls to prevent potential biases, and promoting greater participation of workers and their representatives.

The contribution argues that future EU rules on algorithmic management should complement, rather than duplicate, the AI Act. The focus should be on how automated systems influence significant employment decisions and on whether those decisions remain attributable, reviewable and contestable in practice. The proposed approach is based on the principle Trace the decision, not the worker.

Young people should not have to accept poor working conditions simply because they are at the start of their working lives. Yet for many young workers, temporary contracts, unpredictable schedules, last-minute shift changes and pressure to be constantly available are still part of everyday working life.

Cassandra Foundation recommends that the Quality Jobs Act assess algorithmic management through the decisions it influences, not only the technology used. This contribution proposes safeguards and evaluation questions. It does not present worker testimony, a representative survey or measured employer costs.
The research is clear. EU-OSHA point out that a staggering 45% of workers report facing risk factors that can adversely affect their mental health at work. This alone is enough to indicate that the quality of work is letting millions of people down. We need a new settlement of workers rights fit for the 21st century. The Quality Jobs Act must be ambitious and set a precedent to say that work shouldn't make us unwell.
DSLV supports the objective of preventing labour exploitation and unfair competition in subcontracting chains but considers further EU legislation neither necessary nor proportionate. Subcontracting is a legitimate, economically essential model in logistics, particularly for SMEs that rely on flexible, multi-tier networks.
Europes ability to realise its ambitions in terms of employment, competitiveness and productivity will depend on its ability to integrate and ageing dimension to its employment policies. As highlighted in the AGE Barometer 2023, demographic trends mean that older workers can no longer be overlooked in employment policy.

Quality should also apply to the work of people with disabilities, in order to prioritise inclusion in the regular labour market, since this is the environment where all the elements are regulated (salaries, categories, social benefits when possible, training). Regulation in Spain allows that those comoanies that dont comply the quota for Pple with disabilities, can scape by financing sheltered work options.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
