Mecanismos para la promoción del diálogo social en Colombia y la construcción de confianza para una mejor gobernanza: el caso de la Comisión Permanente de Concertación de Políticas Salariales y Laborales

Abstract

This article makes a theoretical approach to social dialogue for decent work at the national level, through the evaluation and case study of the operation of the Permanent Commission for the Agreement on Wage and Labor Policies of Colombia during the discussion and approval process of Law 1429/2010, of December 29 and of Law 1780/2016, of May 2. Social dialogue, a constitutive element of the agendas for the promotion of decent work conditions, has not been especially relevant in the normative developments of the International Labour Organization. However, it is fundamental for the agendas of sustainable development. This analysis accounts for the implementation challenges that, in the Colombian case, prevent the consolidation of trust relationships and the will to deepen communication models for the achievement of true social dialogue between social partners in the world of work.
