Response: Recommendations for the European Commission Initiative to Support Social Dialogue at EU and National level
18 February 2023 English Recommendation paper
Summary
ERGO Network broadly welcomes the EU's January 2023 social dialogue initiative but points out a major gap: Roma workers go unmentioned in both the Council Recommendation and the Communication, alongside a wider silence on ethnic minorities, racism, and discrimination. The response also notes that union-decline data is split by gender but not by race or other factors, and calls for a matching EU initiative on civil dialogue.
