This study takes stock of current legal frameworks and practices relating to collective bargaining, arising after the new Law on Social Dialogue was adopted in 2011. Additionally, the study also includes recommendations emanating from intensive and extensive tripartite discussions facilitated by the ILO and endorsed by tripartite constituents during a workshop held in Kyiv in March 2012.
A number of these recommendations have already been considered in on-going negotiations of the National General Tripartite Agreement, as well as in a collective agreement in the mining and steel sectors, which is very encouraging. Moreover, some of the recommendations were reflected in recent amendments to the current Law on Collective Agreements.
