European sectoral social dialogue

In a letter sent to the European Commission, 23 employers’ organisations and 6 European trade union federations have urged it to abandon its plans to change the rules governing the financing of sectoral social dialogue. The Commission “wants the social partners to use existing budgets linked to project-based financing to fund social dialogue”, explains Isabelle Barthès, Deputy General Secretary of industriAll Europe. “It represents, especially for the smallest organisations, a huge administrative burden and creates a great deal of uncertainty”. The signatories stress the contradiction apparent in the policies of a Commission which, on the one hand, explains that “social dialogue has never been so crucial”, yet on the other hand, is reducing its political and financial support.
