Reinforcement of social dialogue in times of transition and non-standard work

The three projects Integrate Dialogue, FUTOURWORK and EGRUiEN have overlapping goals, complementary sectors, and are focused on social dialogue. Other common denominators are non-standard/precarious workers (part-time, platform workers, temporary employment, on-call work, disguised employment, and dependent self-employment) impacts of digitalisation and green transition and the projects’ aim to produce policy tools for social partners to enhance cooperation.

One of the pressing challenges facing trade unions today are how to represent the growing number of non-standard workers, including the women and migrants who are disproportionately represented in precarious work. Among other things, this is a question about the workers’ needs and interest and the unions’ capacity to include
these workers.
