"Not again! Once again, I voted no. This report seeks to mobilise over EUR 1 million in the name of support for Portuguese workers, which will fund the corporate strategies of the three firms that are sacking them. As happened with Renault and Peugeot last month, these are three Portuguese car manufacturers that are making hundreds of men and women redundant in order to boost their profits and/or relocate a production site to Morocco. As I see it, this is about as effective as sticking a plaster on a wooden leg. If we really want to help workers, we should not restrict ourselves to ‘globalisation adjustment’. It would be better if the money distributed by the EU were matched by lasting democratic practices within the companies, a ban on speculative redundancies and fairer distribution of the wealth created. It would be better if all Members of the European Parliament supported us when we call for job and training security, financed by public funds. Europe’s workers deserve better than short-term responses at the mercy of companies, which view them as just another adjustment variable."@en1
