Transport set to retain posted workers exemption

[ March 1, 2018   //   ]

Negotiators in Brussels say they plan to retain existing exemptions for the transport sector in the new Posted Workers directive, details of which were revealed on 1 March.

The European Council, European Parliament and the European Commission last night said that they had reached an understanding on a possible agreement to revise the current 1996-vintage directive, including higher pay for people working in other EU countries.

However a lex specialis for the transport sector would be retained. The European Commission had earlier proposed that the posting rules should also apply to truck drivers and others in the industry.
