Abstract
Presents the characteristics of local social dialogue, and how it can contribute to improve labour conditions and businesses in key sectors of the urban economy. Gives insights on how sectoral workers and enterprises can get together with government authorities to discuss issues of common interest and contribute to governance. Can also be used for multi-sectoral local social dialogue. In appendix, a manual provides condensed information and assist municipal actors to engage in a process of participation (social dialogue) leading to the formulation and implementation of a programme aimed at improvements both for workers and companies in the municipality within a framework of decent work.
