“Social dialogue is one of the core values of our political family. We are convinced of the importance of a constant exchange between employers and workers’ trade union in order to agree on the essential rules that regulate work in companies, sectors and economies as a whole. This is why we have always stood, and will always stand, strongly in favour of collective bargaining agreements and support as strong social dialogue all across Europe. Collective agreements are not only a way to ensure worker protection, but also the basis for more harmonious and constructive work relations. We want to develop and implement employment and social policy in close cooperation with the social partners, to ban precarious work and ensure decent standards of work to all. “, said the PES President Sergei Stanishev during the PES Council, Prague, 2-3 Decemeber.
I call on all involved parties to work for a constructive solution that preserves and promotes the European Social model. It is an essential feature of our societies and needs to be respected in all countries.
Sergei Stanishev said:
“In the midst of a Europe that seems increasingly fragmented and fragile, we stand together here in Prague to send the strongest of possible messages: we are united, and we are determined.We are the only European political party with the confidence to put prime ministers and activists in the same room and let the sparks fly.The result has been a vigorous and invigorating debate – and an outcome that commits us to strong and urgent action.”, added Stanishev.
