Summary
The development of the informal sector of Morocco through short-term contracts and the recent decisions of the government have led to a decline in the influence of social dialogue institutions like unions. The lack of ability of the unions to keep up with the changing demands of new workers and the solitary decisions of the government have led to groups leaving union representation and protesting on their own. The current state of bipartite and tripartite dialogue in the state need to be reassessed.

Summary
The representation of social services workers in the EU is broadly lacking. Employers outside of the public sector are not organised in any meaningful fashion and this significantly hampers the ability of for-profit and not-for-profit social service workers to engage in meaningful social dialogue. The PESSISS+ project suggests organising social dialogue for social services on an EU level, to bring consensus to all member nations and create a strong and enforceable set of standards for the sector overall.

Social dialogue with employers and the government in this sector has historically been tumultuous and, at times, violent. To move forward in the industry, new land developments processes, the elimination of illegal sub-contracting, allying direct and indirect workers’ alliances and convincing the employers of the benefits of development are necessary.

Summary
This study assesses the effectiveness of the organisational-level collective bargaining model present in Australia. It concludes that the present model is failing, with less collective bargaining agreements being reached, resulting in wage stagnation despite the state-level increase in economic prosperity. It suggests that greater implementation of more drastic measures, like striking, and greater inclusion for the parties allowed in the bargaining process is necessary to develop social dialogue further.
