Technical Support on collective bargaining and dispute resolution.

The project aims at improving laws, mechanisms and processes, particularly in the garment sector, for industrial relations, dispute prevention and resolution and wage setting, including enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. The ILO’s assistance will include policy advice combined with support for legislative, policy and institutional strengthening; training; and sharing comparative experience and good practices. Draft rules will be developed for the establishment and operation of labour courts, including accessibility in particular to women and people with disabilities. Training materials on labour law, international labour standards and non-discrimination will be developed and delivered to judges, and good practices on dispute resolution from across different regions will be shared with the tripartite constituents. Training and knowledge sharing on evidence-based minimum wage adjustment process will be carried out with Labour Advisory Committee members and constituents to determine minimum wage fixing in the country. Tools and guides on how to comply with provisions of the new trade union law will be developed to assist constituents with implementation of trade union law, and development of the new database on union registration. Training and capacity building will be provided to support garment factories in engaging in collective bargaining, adopting methods to prevent disputes and improving social dialogue for improved workplace compliance. New conciliators will be trained to improve their conciliation tasks, as well as to engage in the migrant workers issues.
