ILO-GIP Case Study 7
Experiencing social dialogue: Reinforcing the capacity of workplace committees to deliver sound labour relations in garment factories (Burmese version)
The Workplace Coordinating Committee (WCC) and joint Occupational Safety and Health committees (J-OSH) are central institutions under the Myanmar Labour Law as they are designed to enable social dialogue to improve working conditions, and to prevent and resolve disputes between workers and their representatives and management.
Recognising this, the ILO’s Garment Industry Project (ILO-GIP) has developed and delivered three different training programmes to enable WCC and J-OSH representatives in its participating factories to move toward more
harmonious industrial relations and safer workplaces.
