Time to equalise wages across Europe?

Unemployment is an issue faced by many people across Europe. In some regions, over half of people don’t have a job, like in Granada in Spain, the world champions of unemployment, where unemployment benefits don’t even exist anymore.

It’s why we’re calling for equal minimum wage across the EU in our Citizens Pact.
