Labour/Management Programme Final Reports, 1998

Introduction:

Formal relations between the OECD and representatives of trade unions and of business and industry in Member countries are conducted through two organisations officially recognised by the OECD Council. These are the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC). In addition to various forms of policy discussion throughout the year, arrangements provide for meetings at the technical level, which do not engage the responsibility of the organisations. Such meetings are held either in the form of ad hoc discussions with the Secretariat, or under the Labour/Management Programme for which a series of meetings devoted to specific themes is established at the beginning of each year.

After meetings held under the Programme, a rapporteur draws up a report of the discussion on his own responsibility, for distribution to the social partners and to the relevant OECD Committees. The opinions expressed in such reports are those of the rapporteur, except where they are specifically attributed to individual participants, and do not necessarily reflect the views of other participants or of the OECD.
