#EU4FairWork competition open for workers and employers

Published date:

As part of the first European campaign for declared work, the European Platform tackling undeclared work and the European Labour Authority (ELA) have launched a #EU4FairWork social media competition, calling on workers and employers from across the EU to share their personal stories about working declared.

News

Until 4 September, participants will get their chance to win great prizes by participating in the competition and helping spread the message that declared work pays off. To do so, they can submit a photo or video clip of up to 90 seconds representing what declared work means to them and its benefits, along with a short description. The campaign slogan ‘Earn. Declare. Benefit’ and the hashtag #EU4FairWork should be included in a creative way.

How to participate

Workers can submit their entry online and win prizes such as a tablet, a camera, and more. Employers can also participate and win prizes such as a corporate video and a training voucher, and more.

The lucky winners will be announced during the week of 7 September 2020.

Background

Undeclared work affects us all. It puts workers at a multitude of risks, hampers fair competition and undermines public finances, social protection and wider social cohesion. It occurs in all kinds of economic sectors, both within countries and across borders.
