Past crises show that workers and employers need to work together to address the impact of COVID-19, says a new joint report from the International Labour Organizations workers and employers groups.

Collective efforts and solidarity between Employers and Workers Organizations is critical to respond effectively to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world of work, according to a new International Labour Organization (ILO) report.

COVID-19 has in many parts of the world jeopardized the health and safety of millions of people, and put immense pressure on businesses, jobs, and livelihoods. In crisis settings, collaboration and dialogue between employers and business membership organizations (EBMOs) and workers organizations can boost economic and social progress and enable accelerated recovery.
