Labour market policy
Ensuring employment opportunities for all with fair wages and decent working conditions are key trade union principles. The OECD makes policy recommendations and publishes studies that influence labour market policies including working conditions and wages, the retirement age, and workers’ rights.
Through our engagement with the OECD’s Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Committee and its working parties, as well as the OECD’s Action Programme for Local Employment and Economic Development, TUAC is working to ensure that these recommendations and studies support and promote job quality, fair wages and strong labour market institutions and social dialogue, including collective bargaining and trade union representation.
TUAC’s work in this area is led by Filip Stefanovic and Adnan Habibija. For more information, please contact stefanovic@tuac.org and habibija@tuac.org.
