Abstract

This paper documents successful social partnership experiences of 16 companies in coping with increased competition due to globalization. It concludes that social partnership is beneficial to both employers and workers. Two major areas for social partnerships include policy implementation and formulation; for instance the Act to Strengthen Right to Self-Organization and Collective Bargaining needs active support by social partners to promote trade union organizing and collective bargaining associations. As well, employee representation in governing boards of government corporations should be expanded to other state corporations, and there should be a campaign of patronage for local products.
