In the fast-changing world of work, the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) highlighted on Thursday just how important dialogue between workers and management is to the global post-pandemic recovery - and to keeping people's wages fair.
After two years of COVID-19 lockdowns and amid increasing pressures on the classic "9 to five" business model - from zero-hours contracts to telework - ILO Director-General Guy Ryder insisted on Thursday that voluntary negotiations known as collective bargaining had proved their worth.
Our new Social Dialogue Report shows that where collective bargaining is more present, inequalities in society are reduced.
It also shows during crises like #COVID19, collective agreements help provide solutions to world of work challenges.
