Social Dialogue

Social dialogue is the process of defining and converging positions, reaching joint agreements and making coordinated decisions in the field of labour by the parties to social dialogue representing the interests of employees, employers and the state.

The process includes all types of negotiations, consultations and information exchange between government, employers and employees on issues of mutual interest related to social and economic policy.

The levels of social dialogue include international, national, sectoral, territorial and local.

To conduct social dialogue at the national level, the National Tripartite Social and Economic Council is formed from representatives of the parties to social dialogue. The trade union side is represented by the Joint Representative Body of Representative All-Ukrainian Trade Union Associations at the national level (JRB of Trade Union Associations).
