Dialogue between labor and business to be renewed

National and regional social dialogue councils will unite labor, business and government in discussions regarding the central issues of economy and labor practice. IAR reported that the labor and the business sides are preparing an agreement of this kind due to be announced in November. The former tripartite commission was disolved when the labor unions refused to attend further meetings. Unions voiced their concern over the lack of power on the part of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy as well as the other sides' inability to respect the unions' voice.
