The (missing) link between wages and productivity in the Philippines: What role for collective bargaining and the new two-tier wage system?

ILO study reviews the linkages between wages, productivity and collective bargaining in the Philippines, finds that, "[I]t can be argued that successful linkage in terms of more acceptable, more achievable and more inclusive productivity-based pay schemes, is more likely when such schemes are discussed at the bargaining table." http://www.ilo.org/travail/whatwedo/publications/WCMS_531654/lang--en/index.htm

Wondering how long collective agreements can last in Cambodia compared with Viet Nam? Curious how "essential services" are defined in Tanzania? Or how collective bargaining representativeness criteria and recognition procedures vary between Brazil and Argentina? We've got the answers! Click the link below to find out more. Introducing IRLex - a new, global legal database on industrial relations. It summarizes key aspects of the regulatory framework in each country providing and provides a source for comparative information on such issues as the administration of trade unions and employers’ organizations, tripartite social dialogue, information and consultation procedures at the workplace, collective bargaining and labour disputes and their resolution.

The organization of domestic workers and their employers, and social dialogue, including collective bargaining, represent key means of improving working conditions in a sector that is notoriously difficult to regulate. Check out the ILO Issue Brief on the subject.

Who cares for the carers?

5 years on from adopting Convention 189, we see how representation, voice and dialogue can pay dividends for protecting domestic workers. - 30 countries have extended labour protections to domestic workers, and at least another 18 on working towards it. Organizing and social dialogue have been crucial to achieve this. - More than a half million domestic workers have exercised their right to organize, forming and joining unions and other organizations to promote their interests.
