This book provides an all-encompassing and timely analysis of the EU regulatory framework deriving from the enactment of Directive 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages. In the first part, the book discusses the function of minimum wage policies in contemporary labour markets and the role of social partners and collective bargaining in governing minimum wage determinants and trends. The second part provides an article-by-article commentary of the Directive, including insights on crucial aspects such as the EU competence to intervene on wages, the concept of minimum wage adequacy, and the measurement and promotion of collective bargaining coverage. The third part assesses the impact of the Directive across the EU, focusing on the main systemic implications of the Directive as well as on the structural changes that Member States will need to implement. With contributions written by scholars and stakeholders from across Europe, the book sheds light on one of labour law's most fundamental objectives – to provide for adequate minimum wages. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, policy makers, trade unionists and employers' representatives.

Following a two-stage consultation of social partners launched in February 2020, on 28 October, the European Commission published its proposal for a directive on adequate minimum wages in the European Union. It is a watershed in the history of European social and economic integration: for the first time, the Commission is initiating legislative action not only to ensure fair minimum wages but also to strengthen collective bargaining. The proposal for the Directive is based on Article 153 (1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) which covers working conditions. Art. 153 (5) TFEU, however, excludes interventions related to pay. The draft therefore leaves the main responsibility for defining the concrete level of a minimum wage to the Member States.

Statutory minimum wages are one tool for highly centralised wage setting, and in some countries - where wage bargaining is extremely decentralised or non-existent - they are the only tool. They determine the wages of the lowest-earning workers in the labour market, but they can also affect the pay of those earning somewhat more, through spillover effects. At EU level, minimum wages have over the past two years become the focus of an important policy debate around the proposal for a directive on adequate minimum wages (COM(2020) 682 final), which seeks to ensure that workers in the EU are paid adequate minimum wages. Just before publication of the present report, on 7 June the European Parliament and European Council reached agreement on the directive (subject to a formal vote before being adopted). At national level, after cautious increases in minimum wages in 2021 - due largely to the pandemic - they increased more significantly in nominal terms in 2022 in most EU Member States. The challenge faced by actors involved in minimum wage setting in many countries was rising inflation, which has diminished the level of pay in real terms significantly in some countries (Eurofound, 2022). In parallel with the regular process of setting new rates for 2022, several countries continued to deliberate renewing aspects of their wage setting processes and debated policies closely related to the issue of minimum wages aimed at supporting workers and companies. This year's report - the latest in a series of annual reports - reviews developments in statutory minimum wages in those 21 Member States that have such a law and in a selection of collectively agreed minimum wages related to low-paid jobs in 5 Member States (Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy and Sweden) and Norway, which have not established a universal and legally binding wage floor.

A number of studies documents that minimum wage policies have the potential to reduce income inequality. The recently adopted EU Commission's proposal for a Directive on adequate minimum wages was supported by a detailed analysis of the social impacts of hypothetical minimum wage levels in countries with a statutory minimum wage. This paper extends these country-level analyses by exploring the impact of minimum wage policies on EU-level income inequality. To our knowledge, this is the first study that uses a microsimulation model such as EUROMOD to assess the impact of EU-promoted policies on the distribution of income in the EU, beyond their national effects. Assuming no employment effects, static simulation results show that a hypothetical minimum wage corresponding to 60% of the national median wage would bring about a small but significant reduction in EU-level disposable income inequality (by 0.75% in 2019 as measured through the Gini index). This result stems primarily from a reduction in the within-country component of income inequality as the effect on inequality between countries is rather muted. The reduction in EU-level income inequality is the highest in disposable incomes, but some reduction is detectable also in market incomes. In turn, the withdrawal of social benefits because of higher minimum wages seems to neutralise part of this inequality reduction.

In October 2022, the Council of the European Union adopted a directive on adequate minimum wages in the European Union (AMWD). This directive has sparked considerable controversy among trade unions in EU countries. While employers are united in opposing the AMWD, European unions are divided. Unions in many EU countries support the AMWD, while unions in the two Scandinavian EU members, Denmark, and Sweden, oppose it. This paper thus aims to answer the question: Why do unions in some member states support EU legislation regarding statutory minimum wages, while unions in other countries oppose it?To answer this question, the paper conducts two tasks: the first one is descriptive, and the second one is explanatory. First, using 26 semi-structured expert interviews with representatives of national peak-level union confederations, we identify the positions of unions and confederations in 13 EU countries towards the AMWD. We propose a typology of union positions towards the AMWD consisting of three types of positions: self-oriented support, other-oriented support, and protectionist opposition. Second, the paper proposes an explanation for why unions take different positions on the AMWD in different countries. Our explanation draws on the interaction of two variables: national-level bargaining coverage, and the role of state institutions in protecting bargaining coverage. We demonstrate that each of the three types of positions is associated with a distinct combination of values on these two variables. We argue that statutory minimum wage legislation either strengthens or weakens unions' bargaining power, due to it interacting in different ways with features of the national bargaining model, resulting in different TUC positions towards the AMWD.

The Directive on Adequate Minimum Wages represents a watershed initiative adding substance to the EU's social dimension. It contains two ambitious objectives: establishing the minimum level of statutory minimum wages (SMWs) at 60% of the gross median wage, and increasing collective bargaining coverage (CBC) to at least 80% of workers. In this paper, we assess how minimum wages and collective bargaining affect low pay. Using a time series cross-section of EU-SILC for income years 2004-2019, we identify and assess the absolute and relative size of 'effective wage floors' for full-time employees in 30 countries. We specify multilevel, random effects within-between (REWB) regression models to assess the individual and joint effects of SMW and CBC on wage floors. Our results indicate that SMW and CBC both have distinct roles to play in establishing the effective wage floor. First, countries with a statutory minimum wage have a lower share of workers earning below 60% gross median wage than countries without one. Furthermore, higher rates of CBC are essential for pushing down the share of workers on below-decent pay. Countries without a SMW but with CBC above the 80% target value have roughly the same proportion of below-decent pay as SMW countries with CBC less than 30-40%. However, at higher rates of CBC, SMW countries are predicted to overtake non-SMW countries on this measure. A hypothetical SMW country meeting the target value of 80% CBC is predicted to have less than 6.5% of full-time employees earning below-decent pay.

In terms of minimum wage setting, 2022 will be remembered well as an outstanding year for two reasons. High inflation rates that had not been seen in decades triggered the need to substantially uprate gross wages nominally. But it was also the year in which the EU-level negotiators reached agreement on the directive on adequate minimum wages.
