Project information:
From 2019-2020, UNI Europa has been running this key project on “Shaping the future of work in a digitalised services industry through social dialogue”. The objective of the project was to look in-depth at specific topics related to the future of work, and in particular as regards the impact on social dialogue and collective bargaining at national and European level. We aimed to identify current cutting-edge practices and thinking that can support social partners when developing their policies and approaches on three main topics: 1) self-employment; 2) skills; and 3) restructuring processes. The project is a further step in UNI Europa’s development of a forward-looking policy platform on how trade union action, industrial relations and public policy can lead to a fairer and more sustainable European services industry. It has played an essential part in the preparations for the recent UNI Europa Conference (April 2021).
Best regards,
UNI Europa
