Description

The project will raise the capacity of social partners  in the construction sector to participate in both tripartite and bipartite social dialogue , and build trust between the employers and the employees, inspired by the Norwegian model for social dialogue. 

The project partners want to analyse the challenges and opportunities within the social dialogue and cooperation in the Czech construction sector, and based on the exchange of good practices and expertise with the Norwegian partner, will carry out different activities to build capacity and trust to strengthen the social dialogue. The analysis will be done by four thematic groups which will result in a report outlining the strategy forward. 

The project has a strong partnership between ABE representing employers and the trade union OS STAVBA representing building workers, in  partnership with NHO and with the involvement of the Federation of the Norwegian Construction Industries. The Norwegians will share their experience with collective bargaining agreements, and the Czech partners intend to use this knowledge to sign future agreements. 

These are the key activities of the project:

- Communication events (Opening event and Closing Conference)
- Study visit in Norway
- Identifying and addressing the key challenges related to social dialogue in the construction sector
- Working session in the Czech Republic
- Publication of the manual
- Training Sessions
- Awareness-raising campaign
