This article contextualises the adoption of the Directive 2022/2041 (EU) on adequate minimum wages. The analysis considers wage adequacy, collective bargaining coverage, and the combat of in-work poverty as the main pillars on which the directive is built. The aim is to show the potential and limits of the directive’s approach to wage regulation, in the light of the stringent limits on EU competence deriving from EU treaties.
