Particularități ale dialogului social în cadrul autorităților și instituțiilor publice

Abstract

Dialogue is considered to be the opposite of rhetoric. This is true, especially when it comes to social dialogue, meant to prevent conflicts and to ensure social peace. But is social peace a goal? And which are its particularities when it comes to public servants? The paper aims to analyze the participation of public servants to social dialogue and their right to collective bargaining, under Romanian law. There are taken into account, in a comparative context, the success of collective bargaining, which is the conclusion of collective agreements, and the failure of collective bargaining, which leads to the possibility of strike. The paper contains a number of de lege ferenda proposals, meant to create a special regulation of social dialogue in case of public servants, and to eliminate the application of common law in this regard.
