ARESME (2023-2025)

Project ARESME

Adapting national social partners’ capacities to pursue inclusive and responsive social dialogue following crisis situations in EU

ARESME is a 2 year international project, consisting of 6 partner organisations of which 5 are representatives of employers in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and of self-employed in the craft and entrepreneurial (cross-industry) sector and one trade union organisation. Partners are holding status of a representative social partner.

The main goal of the project is to enhance social partner’s performance and negotiation position in cross-industry and sectoral social dialogue following crisis situations in EU. The aim is to incorporate learned pandemic experiences for a responsive social dialogue.

 ARESME unfolds two points – one is recommending updates of legal frameworks while protecting all parties included, and the other is empowering social partners to gain strength in bipartite and tripartite social dialogue.

The objectives of the project are:

1. To stocktake the occurrence and status of various new forms of work in partners countries (platform work, telework, part-time work schemes) through risks that they bring in the field of labour law and occupational health and safety at work;
2. To recognize, raise awareness and tackle problems related with adequate minimum wages and gender income equality and preparation of recommendations to promote collective bargaining in general on wage setting at national and EU level through a special contribution for the collective bargaining and implementation of collective agreements on national level;
3. To build, strengthen and improve the capacity of project partners and to promote a modernised social dialogue thru preparation of recommendations from the social partner organisations in bipartite and tripartite social dialogue at national level.

The objectives will incorporate Digital and Green transition goals.

Expected overall outcomes are:

1. intensified and modernised social dialogue at cross-industry and sectoral level,
2. strengthened capacities of national social partners, and
3. recommendations for social dialogue content in five European countries.

Projekt ARESME – Krepitev zmogljivosti nacionalnih socialnih partnerjev za vključujoč in odziven socialni dialog po kriznih razmerah v EU

Projekt ARESME je dvoletni mednarodni projekt partnerskih organizacij s statusom reprezentativnega socialnega partnerja. Med njimi je šest predstavnikov delodajalcev v obrti in mikro, malih in srednje velikih podjetij (MSP) v podjetniškem sektorju ter slovenska sindikalna organizacija.

 Namen projekta je izboljšati delovanje socialnih partnerjev in (bipartitnega in tripartitnega) socialnega dialoga v (med)sektorskem socialnem dialogu po oz. v kriznih razmerah (npr. pandemija).

Cilji so:

1. Pregled stanja novih oblik dela v partnerskih državah (platformno delo, delo na daljavo, sheme krajšega delovnega časa) ter priložnosti in tveganj, ki jih te oblike prinašajo z vidika delovnega prava ter varnosti in zdravja pri delu;
2. Obravnavati urejanje minimalne plače in enakost spolov glede dohodka, ter pripraviti priporočila za vodenje kolektivnih pogajanj na področju določanja plač;
3. Izboljšati zmogljivosti projektnih partnerjev ter izvajati sodobnejši socialni dialog na podlagi priporočil za vodenje bipartitnega in tripartitnega dialoga;
4. Digitalni in zeleni prehod se obravnavata kot vključujoči tematiki.

Pričakovani rezultati so:

• intenzivnejši in posodobljen socialni dialog na (med)sektorski ravni,
• izboljšane zmogljivosti socialnih partnerjev, in
• pripravljena priporočila za izvajanje socialnega dialoga za pet partnerskih držav.
