Opinions of Social Partners: Turkey, Land of Differences in Labour Relations

Abstract

In this chapter, where social dialogue at the workplace level in Turkey is analysed from the social partners’ perspective, different approach patterns amongst the social partners are addressed. There have been many different assessments related to social dialogue at the workplace level; it has been argued that the subject cannot be addressed independently from the political, economic and legal system of Turkey, and that social relations have a serious impact on social dialogue. In general, several assessments have been made on the effects of the system on social dialogue in the workplace, and several analyses have been conducted on the operability of specific mechanisms with several functions.
