".
The spread of flexibility and atypical forms of work, in order to share out unemployment, entrepreneurship, the extension of working life on the pretext of the ageing of the population and sustainable pensions and lifelong learning are the basic Commission guidelines on employment.
At the same time, by making not only relative but also absolute cuts in wages and linking them to productivity, cutbacks in the welfare state and social protection and the non-application of what are inadequate safety regulations in the workplace are being promoted.
Unemployment is rising constantly and exceeds 10%, not counting hidden unemployment. This situation, especially the large number of long-term unemployed and unemployment among the young and women, who are unable to enter the labour market, is giving rise to acute manifestations of poverty and social exclusion.
The term employment policy is completely misleading. The proposed measures are essentially measures to reinforce the unaccountability of big business by granting it new privileges. This policy represents an escalation of the attack on workers' rights, the objective being the further promotion of plans for a cheap workforce, with no employment, insurance, wage or trade union rights, and increased profits.
The workers are not only rejecting these measures, but are also reacting proactively and
against pro-monopoly choices by stepping up their fight."@en1
