Will the EU's plan to reduce red tape for businesses negatively impact workers?

The European Union is considering a plan to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for businesses, aiming to enhance economic growth and competitiveness. This initiative, known as the "SME Relief Package," seeks to simplify regulations, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), by reducing reporting requirements and easing compliance with certain EU laws. However, there are concerns that these deregulatory measures might negatively impact workers. Critics argue that less stringent regulations could lead to a decline in labor protections, potentially resulting in lower wages, reduced job security, and diminished health and safety standards. There's also apprehension about the potential for increased exploitation, especially in sectors where labor rights are already under pressure. While the EU insists that worker rights will remain protected, the debate continues on how to balance economic efficiency with social protections.
