Improving social dialogue and industrial relations in Chile can be important elements of a more equitable and inclusive growth. The labour reform (Proyecto de Modernization de Relaciones Laborales, Ministerio Secretarfa General de la Presidencia, 2014) currently in discussion in the Senate, aims at expanding the coverage and scope of collective bargaining by empowering trade unions and by bringing collective bargaining processes closer to other OECD countries, in particular European. The reform has a number of major provisions that change the bargaining conditions for collective agreements (Box 1.3).
