EU: chemicals sector social partners emphasize responsible social dialogue in their agreed five-year Roadmap

Ten years of social dialogue in the chemicals sector. “Our committee has developed real European social dialogue that has led to significant results especially as regards our adopting common positions over major issues where we have taken responsibility,” Sylvain Lefebvre, deputy secretary general of IndustriALL Europe explained to Planet Labor. He recalled, “As regards a what was originally an extremely divisive issue like REACH we showed we could find common ground, and adopt a common position to reconcile worker health and safety with business competitiveness.”
