Global Deal Masterclass Series: The Role of Collective Bargaining

The Global Deal Masterclass Series on Sound Industrial Relations aimed at strengthening the capacity for individuals and organisations involved in grievance handling, workplace cooperation, collective bargaining, industrial relations during a crisis and non-discrimination in the workplace. In this session, social dialogue experts from International Labour Organization (ILO) and International Training Centre of the ILO (ITC-ILO) introduced the topic of collective bargaining and outlined the benefits that may arise from the effective recognition of this fundamental and enabling right. This session also included a discussion with representatives from H&M Group and IndustriALL Global Union, who highlighted their experiences and provided their views on the contribution of collective bargaining to decent work and business performance.
