Lessons from Austria: What Effective Industrial Democracy Looks Like?

Together with our Partners at the Histadrut we initiated a delegation to Austria, to explore the Model of Social Partnership and of Industrial Democracy.

We had the opportunity to learn from each other and exchange knowledge with our partners at the Austrian Trade Union Confederation (ÖGB). In addition, we had intensive discussions with the Federal Minister of Labour and Social Affairs Korinna Schumann and Representatives of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber. 

The focus of our visit has been the co-determination of workers, collective agreements as well as social dialogue. 

Our visit gave important insights about the world of labour in Austria and emphasized the importance of strong international relations among trade unionists. 
We thank our Austrian partners for their generous hospitality and the meaningful exchange.
