The Problem
Greek industrial
relations have been plagued by imbalanced state interference and weak
representation which have significantly hindered the development of a vibrant,
strong and similar to other EU countries social partnership. Historically,
Greek social partners have lacked independence, failed to adequately represent
Greece’s working population and had a very narrow set of priorities. These
features of the Greek employment relations system exacerbate social injustice, socioeconomic
inequalities and pose additional challenges to Greek democracy. This proposal
seeks to suggest novel policy measures to strengthen both quantitatively and
qualitatively Greek social partnership.
