Project PESSIS +: Promoting employers’ social services in social dialogue

By | Social dialogue

Summary

The representation of social services workers in the EU is broadly lacking. Employers outside of the public sector are not organised in any meaningful fashion and this significantly hampers the ability of for-profit and not-for-profit social service workers to engage in meaningful social dialogue. The PESSISS+ project suggests organising social dialogue for social services on an EU level, to bring consensus to all member nations and create a strong and enforceable set of standards for the sector overall.

Social Services and their Representation in Social Dalogue in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta and Romania

By | Cyprus, Hungary

Summary

This study assesses the inclusion of social services in tripartite, bipartite and collective bargaining at a national level in six EU member states: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta and Romania. It does this through extensive surveys, interviews and focus groups throughout the nations in the different companies and representives in social services. It concludes that social service organisations are largely absent from social dialogue on a national level, and they have little influence on policy creation because of this.
