‘Among the Challenges that the EU Must Face, Like the Climate Transition, a Lot of Workers Feel that They Will be Left Behind’. Interview with Ludovic Voet

In this interview, Ludovic Voet sheds lights on the interplay between dissensus and the ‘social question’ within the European Union (EU) legal and political framework. From the perspective of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), Voet offers a clear picture of the trade union’s struggle in influencing the EU decision-making processes. In addition, Voet helps to understand the current different interests at stake. For example, the need to reconcile the green transition, digitalisation and the workers’ interests. In this regard, Voet strongly emphasised the need to challenge Eurosceptic narratives with their ‘easy solutions’ for the workers, especially prompted by far-right political parties, at the national and the European levels.
