The 5th Social Dialogue Forum will be held in Caracas on April 28 and 29
The event will bring together representatives from the ILO, trade unions, and Venezuelan government officials to analyze various conventions within the framework of the wage increase scheduled for May 1
The city of Caracas will host the 5th Social Dialogue Forum, which will take place on April 28 and 29, with the participation of representatives from the International Labour Organization, trade unions and other professional organizations, as well as government officials.
In addition to the ILO, “all the country’s trade union organizations will be participating, such as the CTV, ASÍ, CGT, and the Bolivarian Federation; as well as Fedecámaras and Fedeindustria, with government representatives in attendance.”
The last meeting of this body, created and promoted by the international organization, was two years ago, but it was abruptly suspended without any results.
For two days, three conventions directly related to wages in the country will be discussed:
- Convention 26: Discussions on methods for establishing the minimum wage. This will examine the progress being made and whether it is being implemented.
- Convention 87: concerning freedom of association, which will determine whether workers are being persecuted or harassed and whether they have the opportunity to express themselves freely.
- Convention 144: which calls for a forum for social dialogue to discuss both labor laws and laws that affect the performance of the Venezuelan economy.
As May 1st approaches, the date on which the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, is expected to announce the increase in the minimum monthly wage, the discussions are progressing, new proposals are emerging, and concerns are also being raised by employers.
Recent meetings between the Venezuelan government and the ILO aim to pave the way for better conditions for the working class, which demands a living wage that allows them to cover basic needs.
ILO representatives Corinne Vargha, Ana Virginia Moreira, and Ítalo Cardona described the recent release of a group of union members in the country as a positive sign.
