Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee in Local and Regional Government

In January 2004 a Sectoral Social dialogue Committee for Local and Regional government was set up between EPSU and the Employers Platform of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR-EP). The chair of the committee alternates every two years between EPSU and CEMR.

The Committee is now working on its third work programme covering the period 2008-2010, agreed in the plenary meeting of December 2007. The work programme identifies the following priorities:

- Promoting Social dialogue and contribute to the Commission’s aim to strengthen social dialogue in the new member states and candidate countries

- Evaluating experiences in various forms of local service provision (outsourcing / insourcing, PPPs, inter-municipal cooperation)

- Tackling harassment and violence at work

- Promoting gender equality and reconciliation of work and family life

Statements and other documents agreed by the Committee since 2004 include:
