The overall objective of the project was to enhance decent work for third-country workers and Ukrainian refugees in the Polish labour market, building on Norwegian best practice and on the results of a previous project on capacity-building on social dialogue and decent work for employers and trade union representatives in the steel sector.
The project raised the capacity and awareness of social partners on the importance of decent working conditions, including non-discrimination of migrant workers and refugees in the labour market. The project involved Norwegian experts to learn from Norwegian policies and measures related to non-discrimination and integration of migrant workers and refugees.
The previous project's partnership between employers and trade unions in a transnational undertaking in the steel sector continued, and local authorities were involved in some activities. Digital tools and activities developed in the first period were improved.
The following activities were carried out:
- Launch event in Krakow with 30 representatives of social partners, public authorities, local media, and Norwegian experts
- Research on the situation of third-country workers, in particular Ukrainians, based on gender based analysis and presented in a digital research report
- Update of the interactive online platform from previous project with online self-training actions, report, etc.
- 3 National Workshops for social partners (3x20 participants) to discuss social and labour integration of third-country nationals, in particular Ukrainians, and anti-discrimination measures and policies
- Prepare recommendations in a "code of conduct of equity" for companies and trade union representatives
- Awareness raising campaign on anti-discrimination activities in the industrial sector
