Follow-up project 2012 Identification of a problem Limited participation of social partners from New Member States in European sectoral social dialogue committees due to the weaknesses on the national level that are echoed in the EU SD Selected sectors: Agriculture, food industry, HORECA, energy, chemistry and mining

Challenges in NMS and CC (I) Weak national labour legislation An overall low level of social dialogue and industrial relations Poorly designed institutional framework, weak labour and SD institutions Need for consolidation of institutions, add content and delivery power to the existing institutional forms Sectoral social dialogue and collective bargaining are the weakest link Proliferation and fragmentation of trade unions which adversely affects TU dialoguing strength 29/12/2018 This project is funded by the European Union

This project is funded by the European Union Challenges (II) Decline in membership as a dominant feature, representativity issue Need for rejuvenation of TU movement, new image of trade unions Barriers in external (language) and international communication (dissemination of ESD-related information to TU members) and internal capacities (insufficient knowledge about ESD forms and processes) Lack of sectoral employers’ organisations at national level Absence of employers’ interest in being involved in EU-level sectoral projects and activities 29/12/2018 This project is funded by the European Union
