ILO: Collective bargaining for an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient recovery

The report entitled “Social Dialogue Report 2022: Collective bargaining for an inclusive, sustainable and resilient recovery,” is based on a review of collective agreements and practices in 80 countries at different levels of economic development, and legal and regulatory frameworks in 125 countries. The report says that collective bargaining, the voluntary bargaining processes between employers or their organizations, and workers’ organizations, can effectively reduce wage inequality, whether in an enterprise, sector or industry.

 

According to ILO, collective bargaining can also contribute to narrowing the gender wage gap. About 59% of the collective agreements reviewed by the report show a shared commitment by employers and their organizations and workers’ organizations, particularly trade unions, to address gender inequality by ensuring equal pay for equal work, providing family leave and addressing violence based on gender in work.
