Von der Leyen in his long speech also stopped on the subject of work, remarking that “everyone in the Union must have a minimum wage. They work and it is time for the work to pay off.” “The truth,” he added, “is that for too many people work does not pay, wage dumping destroys the dignity of work and penalizes employers, distorts competition in the internal market, and this situation must end. The commission will make a proposal. “on legislation to support member states and establish a framework on minimum wages. Everyone should have access to minimum wages or through collective bargaining and with minimum statutory wages.”
