Parties of social partnership
There are two sides to the joint venture - the workers and the employer. These groups must be represented by certain people chosen by the participants. They will be considered representatives of:
- Workers . As a rule, these are trade unions. If company employees do not participate in trade unions, they can choose their representative by secret ballot.
- Employer . This is the head of the company himself or his representatives with appropriate powers. Also, the manager may be a member of a non-profit association of entrepreneurs. This is a union whose goal is to defend its interests before trade unions and government agencies.
The main rule of a joint venture is that you need to choose one person who will represent the interests of the entire group.
Benefits of social partnership (what is social partnership)
The main advantage of social partnership is the creation of an atmosphere in which the employee feels responsible for the effectiveness of the company. The employer no longer appears hostile and alien to the employee, since the worker himself personally takes part in the development of the enterprise. As a result, staff become more proactive, loyal and efficient.
This is the benefit of organizing social partnerships for employers.
In terms of benefits relevant to workers, social partnership helps them to defend their legitimate interests through legal means.
Employees can expect that their complaints will be investigated and that appropriate measures will be taken to improve the company environment.
Organization of social partnership in the company
The basis of social partnership is an agreement between participants in labor relations. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation does not specify special requirements for this agreement. It is usually compiled according to the following scheme:
- Name.
- Date of creation.
- Introduction: names of participants, representatives.
- Subject of the agreement.
- Rights and obligations of the trade union.
- Rights and obligations of the employer.
- Procedure for fulfilling obligations.
- Punishment for failure to comply with contract clauses.
- Duration of the agreement.
- The procedure for considering emerging conflicts.
- Details and signatures.
The legislation does not provide for strict rules regarding the formalization of social partnerships. However, it is still worth indicating in the agreement all the details for the comfort of the participants themselves.
The JV agreement assumes a special character. In this regard, it is necessary to take some additional steps to correctly formalize the partnership:
- Developing a plan for interaction between participants.
- Coordination of the plan with stakeholders (for example, with local governments).
- Drawing up the main and additional agreements.
Each step must be agreed upon with the parties involved.
The importance of social partnership in the world of work
The presence of such a representative cannot be an obstacle to trade union organizations carrying out their functions. This rule was interpolated into labor legislation from the Rights Convention No. 135 on Workers' Representatives of 1971.
Other employee representatives may be:
1. Representative bodies (Labour Council, Staff Council)
2. Specific elected representatives of the collective of workers
Other employee representatives must be equal in rights to the representative body.
The PPO or other employee representative represents the interests of employees when conducting collective negotiations, concluding or amending a collective agreement when monitoring its implementation, when participating in the management of the organization and the consideration of labor disputes (LC). Other elected representatives can act only at the local level.
Starting from the territorial level of social partnership up to the federal level, the interests of workers in social partnership are represented by the relevant trade unions, their territorial organizations, associations of trade unions and associations of territorial trade union organizations.

Question 10. Concept, forms and bodies of social partnership
Social partnership is a system of relationships between employees (employee representatives), employers (employers' representatives), government bodies, local governments aimed at ensuring coordination of the interests of workers and employers on the regulation of labor relations and other relations directly related to them (Article 23 TK). The parties to the social partnership are employees and employers represented by duly authorized representatives (Art.
Basic Concepts
The joint venture began to take shape in the 20th century, when it became clear that the antagonism of the working class and the employer did not lead to anything good. At the same time, trade unions began to actively develop, which are an effective tool for defending workers’ rights. SP is an entire culture, most developed in European countries. Let's look at the basic concepts of partnership.
Collective agreement
A collective agreement sets out agreements between workers and the employer. Typically this agreement covers issues such as:
- The size of salaries and various types of compensation.
- The procedure for increasing salaries depending on inflation.
- The procedure for paying compensation for overtime service, night work and weekend work.
- Employee employment.
- Duration of the working day (including for certain categories of employees).
- Duration of paid leave.
- Occupational Safety and Health.
- Obligations of the parties to the agreement to each other.
The agreement is concluded between the employer and the trade union or employee representative.
ATTENTION! A collective agreement cannot contradict the law. It should not worsen the situation of workers.
Collective bargaining
It is at collective bargaining that various agreements are adopted. They can be initiated by a representative of any of the parties. To do this, you need to send a corresponding notification. The party receiving it is obliged to enter into negotiations within a week. To conduct the event, you need to assemble a commission of representatives of the parties. The meeting agenda is also set.
IMPORTANT! Workers have the right to support their demands with rallies and pickets held in their free time.
Parties to social partnership in the sphere of labor
1.4 The significance of social partnership in labor relations
The significance of social partnership is that it:
a) in labor law, it is a new method of legal regulation of labor, serving to resolve conflicting interests of workers and employers, and state bodies;
b) is designed to establish relationships between employees and employers in accordance with the forms and principles provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
The development of the institution of social partnership plays an important role in the activities of the employment service of the Russian Federation.
The main goals of social partnership in the labor market:
· Work to coordinate supply and demand in the local labor market;
· Creation of an effective mechanism for improving the provision of enterprises with qualified labor through advanced training of workers released from ineffective jobs;
· Ensuring a balance of supply and demand in the labor market through pooling the resources of social partners.
Thanks to the cooperation and unification of efforts of all labor market participants, primarily employers, and the coordination of their actions in the implementation of active measures to promote employment, the regional employment service is a full participant in the process of regulating social and labor relations. The further development of the institution of social partnership is important for the implementation of state employment policy in the Russian Federation.
The concept of social partnership, based on negotiations, mediation, expertise, cooperation, consultations, plays an important role in solving many problems in the social and labor sphere. Social partnership is the basis of relationships between employees (trade unions, their unions, associations), employers (their unions, associations), authorities, local governments for the purpose of discussing, developing and making decisions on social, labor and related economic issues, ensuring social peace and social development. Social partnership is carried out through mutual consultations, negotiations, concluding agreements, collective agreements and making joint decisions.
The expansion of contractual principles in the sphere of regulation of labor relations, the increasing role of collective contracts and agreements are the result of the implementation of the new state policy in this area. There is a transition to contractual regulation of relations, from the “unity of interests” of employers and employees to the search for mutually acceptable conditions for joint work, to social partnership.
The role of the collective agreement has increased with the adoption of the Labor Code, since it legislated norms for the specific solution of many social and labor issues, including labor protection through this legal act, and these issues must be resolved during negotiations. Therefore, what kind of collective agreement will be, what conditions will be set out in it, workers will have such social guarantees in the field of labor protection.
Chapter 2. Forms of social partnership
2.1 Collective bargaining
Collective negotiations are negotiations between persons in labor relations, through their representatives, on the preparation, conclusion or amendment of collective agreements between employees and the employer.
International legal acts also establish the principles on which collective bargaining should be based. The most important of them include, in particular, the principle of freedom and voluntariness, the principle of good faith.
Each party to the labor relationship has the right to initiate collective negotiations.
Their representatives have the right to conduct collective bargaining on behalf of workers and on behalf of employers,
who participate in collective negotiations for the preparation, conclusion and amendment of a collective agreement, agreement and have the right to take the initiative to conduct such negotiations.
Representatives of a party who have received a written notification with a proposal to begin collective negotiations are obliged to enter into negotiations within 7 calendar days from the date of receipt of the notification.
Employers and executive authorities are obliged to negotiate on labor and socio-economic issues proposed for consideration by trade unions and other representative bodies authorized by employees.
Participants in collective bargaining are free to choose issues related to the regulation of social and labor relations (Article 37 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The timing, place and procedure for holding collective negotiations are determined by representatives of the parties participating in such negotiations. No later than 2 weeks from the date of receipt of the relevant request, the parties must provide each other with the information they have necessary for conducting collective bargaining. Participants in collective bargaining and other persons associated with such negotiations must not disclose the information received if this information relates to a secret protected by law (state, official, commercial or other).
In cases where the parties to collective bargaining could not reach agreement on all or part of the issues under consideration, a protocol of disagreements is drawn up.
Representatives of workers and employers participate in collective negotiations on the preparation, conclusion and amendment of a collective agreement, agreement and have the right to take the initiative to conduct such negotiations.
Collective negotiations and the conclusion of collective agreements and agreements on behalf of employees by persons representing the interests of employers, as well as organizations or bodies created or financed by employers, executive authorities, local governments, political parties are not allowed, except for cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
The interests of the organization's employees in the implementation of social partnership are represented by the primary trade union organization. This is a general rule.
If there is no primary trade union organization in the organization, as well as if there is a trade union organization that unites less than half of the workers, at the general meeting (conference), employees can entrust the representation of their interests to the specified trade union organization or another representative. However, the presence of a representative cannot be an obstacle to the trade union organization exercising its powers.
Employees who are not members of a trade union have the right to authorize the body of the primary trade union organization to represent their interests in relations with the employer.
The employer's representatives when conducting collective negotiations, concluding or amending a collective agreement are the head of the organization or persons authorized by him in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, laws, other regulatory legal acts, constituent documents of the organization and local regulations.
In the case where a sole and collective executive body operates simultaneously in an organization, it is necessary to refer to the provisions of the charter defining the competence of the management bodies. If there is no mention of representation in collective labor relations, the representative of the employer should be the person performing the functions of the sole executive body, since it exercises the labor legal personality of the legal entity.
When concluding a collective agreement in a branch, representative office, or other structural unit, representation of the employer’s interests can be carried out by proxy by the heads of the structural unit.
When participating in the social partnership mechanism at the federal, regional, territorial and sectoral levels, employers are represented by relevant associations.
The employer is obliged to create conditions that ensure the activities of employee representatives. Specific obligations of the employer may be established in collective agreements and agreements.
Procedure for conducting collective bargaining. Participants in collective bargaining are free to choose issues related to the regulation of social and labor relations. The subject of collective bargaining is determined taking into account the purpose of regulating labor and other directly related relations.
If there are two or more trade union organizations in an organization, they create a single representative body. The procedure and conditions for the creation of such a body are determined by the trade unions themselves, in compliance with the principle of proportional representation depending on the number of trade union members. In this case, a representative must be determined from each trade union organization.
If a single representative body is not created within five calendar days from the start of collective bargaining, then the interests of all employees of the organization are represented by the primary trade union organization, uniting more than half of the employees.
If none of the primary trade union organizations unites more than half of the workers, then the general meeting (conference) of workers by secret ballot determines the primary trade union organization, which is entrusted with the formation of a representative body.
In cases provided for in parts 3 and 4 of Art. 37 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other primary trade union organizations retain the right to send their representatives to the representative body until the signing of a collective agreement. The same approach is applied if there are several trade union organizations in a separate structural unit.
2.2 Collective agreement
According to the definition given in the current legislation of the Russian Federation, a collective labor agreement is a legal act regulating legal, socio-economic and professional relations between an employer and an employee at an enterprise, institution, organization; it is concluded between employees represented by one or more trade unions, other representative bodies authorized by employees and the employer directly or his authorized representative.
A typical collective agreement, as a rule, regulates the start and end times of work, break times, alternation of working and non-working days, wage indexation, wages on weekends and holidays, and others.
In the conditions of transition to market relations, the essence of the collective agreement is built on two principles:
on the idea of managerial sovereignty of organizations in the sphere of labor, exercised by its head;
on the participation of the trade union in the settlement of labor, socio-economic and professional relations between the employer and employees.
At the same time, a collective agreement should not be considered as an ordinary civil law transaction, since it pursues other goals and has a broader social scope. Thus, in contrast to a civil law transaction, a collective agreement extends its effect not only to its direct participants, but also to those employees of the organization who were not directly involved in its development and approval.
The parties to the collective agreement are:
employees represented by their representatives;
an employer represented by the head of an organization or another person authorized in accordance with the organization’s charter.
Employees act not as separate isolated individuals, but as an independent subject - the labor collective of the organization. At the same time, the workers and labor collectives themselves do not directly participate in the conclusion of a collective agreement, but act through representatives - trade union bodies or other authorized representative bodies. Thus, the party to the collective agreement is distinguished - it is the employees (labor collective) and the participants in the collective bargaining process - on the side of the workers, they can be trade union bodies and public initiative bodies formed at a general meeting of the organization’s employees and authorized by it.
Since in modern conditions in an organization there may be cases when several representative bodies will simultaneously apply for concluding an agreement, the resolution of the problem of the authorized body should be given to the employees themselves. If there is no such body, employee representatives have the right to independently negotiate and conclude a collective agreement.
The other party to the collective agreement is the employer. The employer's representative is usually the head of the organization. But the authorized representative of the employer may also be other officials from the organization’s administration who have the appropriate powers.

Advantages
Social partnership in an organization is beneficial not only for workers, but also for those managers who are interested in the development of the company. The main benefit of partnership is the creation of an atmosphere in which the employee feels responsible for the well-being of the enterprise. The company ceases to be perceived as something alien and hostile, since the worker takes a direct part in its development. All this has a beneficial effect on employee loyalty, indicators of their ability to work, and initiative. It is beneficial for JV employees because it helps them defend their legitimate interests through legal means. Despite all the benefits, the social partnership system in Russia is poorly developed.
Forms of social partnership (what is social partnership)
Among the legal forms of social partnership, collective agreements will be highlighted.
The following forms of social partnership are distinguished:
- Participation of enterprise owners and company representatives in pre-trial dispute resolution.
- Collective meetings are working on drawing up various types of agreements.
- Participation of employees and employee representatives in the management of the enterprise.
- Consultations regarding the management of labor relations.

In accordance with Art. 26 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, based on the composition of the participants in the social partnership, as well as the nature of the decisions made and the documentation generated, such relations can arise at various levels :
- federal. At the same time, it is assumed not only a federal level of regulatory regulation of social partnership, but also sectoral and intersectoral;
- regional;
- local. Social partnership is carried out within the framework of one company and is regulated by local regulations.
The main document defining the provisions within the framework of social partnership is the collective agreement.
The category under consideration can manifest itself in various forms that are not considered, from the point of view of legislation, to be mandatory aspects of work activity. For example, the most common forms of partnership are :
- development and execution of documentation of local significance;
- formation and approval of various management decisions;
- Negotiation;
- carrying out consultations. This procedure can be carried out by both parties in accordance with the current need;
- oral or written exchange of information;
- organization of commissions, committees and other bodies designed to support and protect the interests of all partnership entities.
Despite the abundance of forms in the category under consideration, the basis, nevertheless, is negotiations and lively discussion. Participants in this procedure can be either a group of representatives or a single subject (for example, one manager and several subordinates). Also, on the basis of Art. 36 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, both parties to the partnership are given the right to initiate negotiations.
Basic concepts (collective agreement and collective bargaining)
A special agreement is concluded between the head of the enterprise and the trade union organization (or other representative of the workers) - a collective agreement, which sets out the agreements between the workers and the employer. Typically, the document covers issues such as:
- the amount of wages, bonuses, compensation payments;
- obligations of the enterprise's employees and their employer;
- rules for wage indexation after inflationary changes in the economy;
- occupational Safety and Health;
- additional payments for overtime work, work on weekends and holidays;
- duration of annual main holidays and other paid holidays;
- employment of workers;
- length of the working day (usually there is a separate clause for special categories of workers).
Various agreements between the employer and the workers' representative are made during collective bargaining. The initiator of a meeting of the parties to discuss any issues can be either the employer or the trade union (a notice is drawn up). The party that has received notice of the need to negotiate must join the discussion within 7 days.
Before the start of negotiations, the agenda is determined and a commission of representatives of the parties is assembled.
