MADRID (OIT News) - During the COVID-19 pandemic, the most representative business and trade union organizations in Spain, together with the Spanish government, adopted various agreements within the framework of social dialogue as an essential mechanism for addressing challenges in key areas such as employment, occupational safety and health, protection of the most vulnerable, labor flexibility, training and adaptation to new labor realities.
The book, promoted by the ILO Office for Spain, compiles the many important tripartite social dialogue agreements during the years 2020 and 2021, with the aim of highlighting the role played by all participants in this historic process, putting the general interests of the country and its citizens before individual ones, activating all the dialogue experience and resources available in favor of the common good, and showing that it is possible to find consensus and common ground in the most difficult moments.
The agreements adopted go beyond the years under study and extend to other very relevant years to promote a modernization of the labor market, the recovery of the economy and the promotion of labor and social rights, being an example of the benefits of social dialogue consistent with the aims, objectives, guidelines and international standards for the promotion and defense of labor rights and social dialogue of the ILO, which should inspire other countries and international actors to achieve social justice.
The book can be purchased at the virtual bookstore of the Spanish Ministry of Labor and Social Economy, the department in charge of its publication.
