EU unions warn 'EU Inc' 28th regime could erode labor rights

Trade unions are mobilizing against the European Commission's 'EU Inc' initiative, a proposed 28th legal regime aimed at easing cross-border expansion for small firms. Unions argue the framework risks undercutting national labor protections and collective bargaining standards. The outcome is uncertain as the legislative process is at an early stage, but the initiative signals a potential shift in EU regulatory priorities toward business flexibility.
