Социален диалог

Социалният диалог може да бъде определен като преговори, консултации, съвместни действия, обсъждания и обмен на информация, в които участват работодателите и работещите. Добре функциониращият социален диалог е ключов инструмент за формиране на условията на труд при участието на разни субекти на различни равнища. Той установява баланс между интересите на работeщите и работодателите и допринася както за икономическата конкурентоспособност, така и за социалното сближаване.

При неотдавнашните политически дискусии на равнище ЕС беше изтъкнато, че особено след кризата от 2008 г. с новите разисквания относно социалната справедливост, демокрацията, качеството на труда и новите модели на трудови правоотношения се отправя предизвикателство към традиционните колективни трудови правоотношения и системи за социален диалог.

Тридесет години след историческото иницииране на европейския социален диалог във Вал Дюшес, Брюксел, на 5 март 2015 г. Комисията постави ново начало за социален диалог на събиране на високо равнище на организации на социалните партньори от цяла Европа. Европейският социален диалог е инструмент на социалната политика на ЕС, който има непосредствен принос за формиране на законодателството и политиките на ЕС в областта на труда.

Дейност на Еurofound

Съставителите на политики се нуждаят от солидни фактически данни, за да разберат промените, които се извършват на пазара на труда, и да реагират на променящата се динамика на индустриалните отношения в Европа. Еurofound използва данни и анализи от своята мрежа от кореспонденти в 28-те държави — членки на ЕС, и Норвегия, за да изследва тенденциите и моделите и да посочи примери за добре функциониращ социален диалог както на европейско, така и на национално равнище.

В проучването на Еurofound се изследват аспекти, като участие на работещите, колективно договаряне, представителство на работниците и служителите и индустриални отношения, на всички равнища. Проучва се до каква степен индустриалните отношения са се адаптирали към появата на многонационални организации. Нещата са разгледани и в глобална перспектива, като се сравняват системите на индустриалните отношения и резултатите в икономики извън ЕС, като САЩ и Япония.

Основни приноси

Агенцията Еurofound е извършила голям обем работа в течение на повече от 40 години, като са описани многобройните и променящи се аспекти на социалния диалог в Европа на различни равнища: фирмено, национално, европейско и международно.

През последните години Еurofound извърши задълбочени анализи на различни въпроси с важно значение за социалния диалог, като: 

Проучванията на представителността, извършени от Eurofound в многобройни сектори по поръчка на Комисията през 2006 г., предоставят основната информация, необходима за създаването и функционирането на европейските секторни комитети за социален диалог.

Ресурси

Създаден през 2005 г. като инструмент за онлайн справки за съставители на политики и практикуващи специалисти, речникът на европейските индустриални отношения е ценен източник на информация за трудовите и индустриалните отношения в ЕС. В трудовия живот по държави е предоставена важна контекстуална информация за структурите, институциите и разпоредбите в сферата на труда в държавите — членки на ЕС-28, и Норвегия на равнището на ЕС.

Базите данни относно колективно договаряне на заплатите и заплати, работно време и колективни спорове имат за цел да предоставят на изследователите и съставителите на политики количествена и качествена информация по тези теми във всички държави членки и Норвегия от 2000 г. досега.
