On February 7th, 2006, European social partners will open a negotiation aimed at concluding a voluntary agreement on harassing and violence at work. (Ref 0671).
This decision became official during the committee for social dialog which took place on January 26th, 2006 in Brussels. The goal is to reach a voluntary agreement, similar to the ones concluded previously on telecommuting and stress. The main idea hers is to prevent harassing and violence, instead of taking action when problems occur. This negotiation should probably succeed before the end of the year.
