across borders. Based on the Laval case (C-341/05), what is the most likely outcome
regarding the company’s obligation to comply with the local wage standards in Country
B?
In the Laval case (C-341/05), the ECJ ruled that imposing local wage standards on a company from another EU member state could infringe on the company’s freedom to provide services across borders.

in Country B (also an EU member). The workers’ union in Country B demands that the
company comply with higher local labor standards, including specific wage rates. The
company argues that this requirement infringes on its freedom to provide services
across borders. Based on the New Posted Workers Directive (2018/957), what is the
most likely outcome regarding the company’s obligation to comply with the local wage
standards in Country B?
The New Posted Workers Directive (2018/957) introduced stronger protections for posted workers, mandating equal pay and working conditions in the host country. The directive ensures that workers sent to another EU country are entitled to the same wage rates and conditions as local workers. Therefore, the company must comply with Country B’s local wage standards when providing services there.
The company must comply with the local wage standards in Country B, as the directive requires adherence to the host country’s working conditions for posted workers.
The company is not required to comply with the local wage standards if they are in conflict with the terms agreed upon in Country A.
