Abstract
Social dialogue, an indicator of decent work, is the workers, the employers, and the state engaging in triple business associations and consensus attempts to determine economic and social policies (Görmüş, 2007). Therefore, social dialogue requires an effective organization of workers and employers. The tourism industry in Turkey is characterized by the fact that employment is quantitatively effective, but the unemployment rate is high. Also, the unregistered workforce is high in terms of labor quality; therefore, social protection is not effective, working hours are high, and wages are low so that the right to work is not fully realized under unionization and collective bargaining. It is assumed that social dialogue cannot be realized effectively because it is quite low. The purpose of this study is to examine the inadequate social dialogue even though there is an effective legal framework. In this study, social dialogue, which has been dealt with by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in the context of decent work, was measured as proposed by the ILO. The statistical and legal aspects of social dialogue were examined using data from the Turkish tourism industry. The results support inefficient rates of social dialogue. However, a strong social dialogue may improve working conditions of employees and solve conflicts among the involved parties.
