In this episode of FEPS Talks, MEP Agnes Jongerius, Head of the Dutch Delegation to the S&D Group, for which she’s also coordinator in the EMPL committee, looks back at the activities of this legislature to take stock of the achievements done on minimum wages and platform work.

She explains the relevance of representing workers’ interests within the European Parliament and stresses the work done with the progressive family at the European level, in collaboration with the EU Commissioner Schmit and PES, for which she leads the Social Europe Network.

Interviewed by FEPS Director David Rinaldi, Agnes is not short of ideas for the next European Legislature and suggests making bold steps on public procurement, minimum income, and a European local employment guarantee, in line with the zero unemployment areas that are emerging in different member states.
