Social Dialogue and Involvement of Social Partners
After the fall of the communist regime, Slovak unions had to evolve because of political, economic and social changes. They had to develop as powerful groups representing the workers and also the citizens, defending their interests in a market economy. The former official unions had to transform their internal structure to become autonomous and keep their members. Only a few unions have been created over the past ten years and only four of them still exist today. Only one union is strong enough to defend workers' interests at a national level and guarantee regular meetings with the government and employer organizations. The Confederation of Unions in the Slovak Republic (KOZ SR) is recognized at the national level as representing employees in three-party negotiations. Today the unions have wide negotiating powers. However, the rate of unionization is dropping.
