Poland: a social Pact difficult to negotiate

The Polish government wants to equip the country with a true social pact. To this end, a conference has just gathered, in Warsaw, the Polish members of Parliament and different European Commission and ILO representatives around Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Prime Minister and Anna Kalata, Minister for Labour. It must enable the opening of tripartite negotiations on employment, economic and social development, social guarantees, family policy, the protection of health, and social dialogue. The decision to conclude this "social Pact" goes back to April 2006. Since then, nothing had happened. (Ref. 070082)

During a whole day, the participants at the conference outlined the objectives of this social Pact, for which the State wants to be the initiator: support the economic growth, trigger a radical fall of unemployment (official figure: 15%), develop a family-friendly policy, to enrich society, remove poverty zones via an active social policy. The tools of this ambitious social policy and the topics of the negotiations to come must be proposed to the social partners at the beginning of February.
