The national studies aimed at identifying current and emerging nonstandard forms of work arrangements within which workers are in need of protection; examining good practices in which people in non-standard forms of work are organized;analysing the role that collective bargaining and other forms of social dialogue play in improving the terms and conditions as well as the status of non-standard workers; and identifying good practices in this regard.

Based on the practical examples obtained from the national studies as well as secondary sources, the paper examines the factors which have resulted in a limited capacity to exercise collective bargaining in addressing the needs and interests of nonstandard workers. The paper also identifies a variety of approaches and strategies whereby collective bargaining and tripartite social dialogue have been addressing those needs and interests, and improving non-standard workers’ terms and conditions of work and their status.
