Social dumping. One year after the creation of a working committee on the harmonization of social dialogue bodies in the commerce industry (equal committees No. 202, 202.01, 201, 311 and 312), commerce unions want to make progress on the issue. In Belgium, commerce workers are divided among five equal committees covered by different collective agreements. Pay conditions are more advantageous in the 312 than in the 202. Yet, the trade unions say some large brands do more and more social dumping by transferring their staff from No. 312 to No. 202 (see our dispatch No. 100187). They want the creation of two committees, one for businesses with 20+ employees and the other for self-employed workers.
