Reform EU Labor Contracts

eu/acc

The EU must allow companies to offer “at will” employment contracts in which the employer and employee alike have the option to end the relationship at any time.

Currently, the work contracts at EU companies prevent businesses from easily firing low performers and employees from easily leaving for higher wages. These contracts cause overall harm to economic dynamism and meritocratic earnings.

    Maybe regulate the freelancing/sole trader space better.

    Companies should learn to hire. A contract is a contract.
    On the other hand, the workforce is moving toward freelance/ contractor/ fractional roles, and some European countries are taxing freelancers heavily - while it is more risky to be on a contract vs job.
