Technical support on wages and collective bargaining

This project aims at improving wages, income policies, working conditions and mechanisms for collective bargaining in Moldova. The ILO will promote capacity building on wage setting in general and on minimum wages in particular through improved collective bargaining mechanisms and by sharing international good practices. The ILO will assist constituents in applying ILO Conventions and EU Directives on Work and Family and Equal Remuneration. The focus will be on improving tripartite/bipartite mechanisms for minimum wage fixing at national and sectoral levels and on enhancing the capacity of the social partners and the government (as employer in the public sector) to negotiate the minimum wage, wages in general and wage premiums for unfavourable working conditions. Capacity building for the constituents will include sharing of good practices from other European countries and training on negotiations skills for the social partners. The capacity of the government to promote and of the social partners to engage meaningfully in collective bargaining will be strengthened through action aiming at improving law and practice of collective bargaining, and at supporting tripartite constituents in devising effective legal and practical measures. The work will contribute to the achievement of SDG 8, 5 and 10.
