In March 2015, the European Commission heralded the new start for social dialogue as President Junker announced new processes to involve social partners in EU policy and law making. Following a consultation by the Commission, EPSU, along with the European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI) and the EUPAE employers\u2019 organisation, signed an agreement on 21 December 2015. The agreement aims to provide information and consultation rights to almost 10 million workers in central government across the European Union on matters of direct concern to them such as restructuring, collective redundancies, working time, health and safety or work\/life balance.<\/p>\n<p>However, on 5 March 2018, the Commission communicated that it would not make a proposal for a Directive to the European Council, arguing that it has the facility to determine whether a proposal for<br \/>\na Directive should go forward.<\/p>\n<p>EPSU believes that the Commission has acted with \u2018flagrant disregard\u2019 for the autonomy of the social partners protected by the EU Treaties and will be fighting the decision in court. Jan Willem Goudriaan, General Secretary of EPSU said: \u201cFour months after the proclamation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, the Commission has undermined its own commitment to social dialogue and information and consultation rights\u201d. He adds: \u201cThe European Pillar of Social Rights presents a great opportunity to re-launch Social Europe, and the Commission, in refusing to put forward a proposal for a Directive, has done the exact opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of the press release here ;\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/unionsyndicale.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/20181505-EPSU-vs-Commission-EN.pdf\">20181505
