Relaxed labour laws for startups below 10 staff (Hire/Fire at will)
New arrangement for small startups to derisk costly hiring decisions during the early stages (e.g for 1 or 2 years) after company formation).
Employers could easily fire staff without facing the full weight of EU labour laws which would help them shed unsuitable staff easily as the company finds & develops product/market fit.
The EU could classify employees that join these early startups as a special class of EU employee that agree to waive some of their usual labour rights in exchange for a temporary lower payroll tax rate.

Labour laws in EU are made to harm employers, they should all be rewritten, big companies are harmed by them, as well, look what is happening to German auto industry.

The only labour law necessary is: slavery is ilegal.
In fact, that itself is unnecessary as it is encompassed by the law of free exchange/market (unless slaves are not considered people — but I think we’ve passed that).
