During her State of the Union address, European Commission President von der Leyen restated her support for establishing a framework for a minimum wage with a view to ensuring all workers in the member states have access to a fair minimum wage. However, with wage-setting a competence of national governments, the issue is politically sensitive and European intervention is viewed with reservations by some Member States. This policy dialogue aims to bring some clarity to the debate by putting together a technical discussion on whether an EU minimum wage instrument aiming at full coverage is possible without impeding national traditions and mechanisms when autonomous collective bargaining systems already exist.
