The project aimed to improve decent work arrangements for metalworkers in Bulgaria by addressing issues related to undeclared work. The project seeked to increase awareness among employees and employers about the benefits of declared work and the implementation of the decent work agenda.
The main goals of the project include increasing awareness among employees about the benefits of working on fair contracts, educating metal workers about their rights and obligations under the decent work agenda, and informing employers about the advantages of implementing the decent work agenda and combating undeclared work. To achieve these goals, the project organised information campaigns targeting both employees and employers, developed a dedicated website with practical information and updates on undeclared work, and conducted training sessions with participation from the Norwegian partner, Solidaritet, to share best practices and methods for fighting undeclared work.
The project also aimed to enhance cooperation between trade union representatives and employers by facilitating meetings to discuss the implementation of the decent work agenda. This mutual learning and exchange of experiences between Bulgarian and Norwegian partners were important for the project's success.
