Description
The aim of the project is to improve social dialogue and cooperation in the Police in Lithuania by using Norwegian best practice, thereby strengthening its effects between law enforcement services (police, prison service) and administrative bodies supervising these services, ie the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of Justice. Due to the specific nature of work in law enforcement services and their legal status (eg limited right to strike), it is necessary to improve cooperation between employees and employers and their social dialogue skills.
The project will contribute to the following objectives:
- Raising the knowledge about the principles of social dialogue and cooperation between representatives of trade unions and government and/or local government administration.
- Raising the awareness among trade union members and representatives of central and local government administration on the importance of social dialogue and cooperation.
- Developing an effective model of social dialogue and cooperation in law enforcement, ie police and prison guards.
- Dissemination of the results of the project through a publication and the project''s website
