No 14, CPD Report from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: The public policies and employers’ actions in dealing with challenges concerning the world of work and workers have been largely influenced by the active participation of the trade unions. According to ILO, (2021), 108 out of 133 countries have used social dialogues as a key instrument to address the concerns of workers. Trade unions have been involved in tripartite and bipartite dialogues, bilateral negotiations and protesting violations against workers’ rights and trade union rights. Like other countries, trade unions in Bangladesh have played an active role both in humanitarian issues and workers’ rights issues during this crisis period. A detailed review of their activities would help understand the nature and extent of their engagement, their capacities in influencing national and international policies and employers’ activities, as well as the gaps in activities where further engagement is expected in the future.
