The European social partners, namely the
ETUC ,
BUSINESSEUROPE-UEAPME and the
CEEP , have concluded a number of agreements: such as parental leave (1996), part-time work (1997) and fixed-term contracts (1999), on telework (2002), work-related stress (2004) and harassment and violence at work (2007).
The social partners have also concluded two frameworks of actions for the lifelong development of competencies and qualifications (2002), and on gender equality (2005).
In March 2006 the European social partners adopted their
second multiannual work programme, to run until 2008, identifying areas of joint action.
In this section of the resource centre website you will find the main results achieved by the European social dialogue to date and related documents developed either jointly by the EU social partners or the European Commission (i.e. implementation reports) or by the ETUC only, to support its members in the use of a given instrument (i.e. interpretation guides).
