Rights at work and taxation in large multinationals

“Hello, I’m Julian and democracy in business is a topic very close to my heart. I myself have often worked in companies where there was virtually no self-determination and I want to change that. As an MEP, I will campaign for a directive that will create strong works councils across the European Union that will not only be listened to, but allowed to have a say. Because as workers, we are often not allowed to decide how and for what we work, what we produce. And that’s why I want more self-determination and less hetero-determination,” says Julian Rossmann, a student from Austria.
“My name is Fabio De Masi and I am the lead candidate for the Alliance of Reason and Justice in the European elections. I want to fight for Europe to now make big multinationals like Amazon accountable, to make them pay their taxes and not, as is often the case, pay less than 1% of their profits. Europe must do this. For example, by imposing punitive taxes on financial flows to tax havens,” says Fabio De Masi from Germany.
