    Abstract

    An EU action on minimum wage has been part of the EU public debate since the emergence of the European social dialogue in the mid-1980s. Any initiative in the field of pay has long been viewed with reluctance by hardliners, for whom the EU must safeguard the sacrosanct principle of social subsidiarity. Despite the Union’s limited legal competences on pay, recent political and economic developments have prompted the Commission to move forward with a directive that promotes fair minimum wages.
