Labour/Management Programme (LMP), 2008
|
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 in the form of meetings devoted to specific themes.
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.
The purpose of the meeting is to take stock of the situation for green jobs ahead of the upcoming meeting of the OECD Council at Ministerial Level (MCM) 4-5 June 2008 and the G8 Summit 7-9 July 2008. It allowed trade unions and their institutional partners to assess progress on promoting green jobs as part of global efforts to address climate change. The meeting provided an opportunity to consider how the OECD’s work on climate change might contribute to future trade union strategies regarding climate change in light of the new information contained in the OECD Environmental Outlook released 5 March 2008.
