The project MIGRIGHT: Improving social dialogue for decent work of migrants and refugees in Poland was carried out by the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs (FPP) as the project leader, the All-Poland Alliance of Trade Unions (OPZZ), Center for Social and Economic Research (CASE) and the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO) in 2020–2022. Its objective was to raise the capacity of social partners in Poland to participate in both tripartite and bipartite dialogue through the transfer of best practices and training regarding fostering migrant and refugee workers’ rights and ensuring decent working conditions for these groups of workers.

Under the MIGRIGHT project, three expert and consultation meetings were held on the regional level with regard to the situation in Masovia, Lower Silesia and Lublin provinces. They were attended by representatives of organisations participating in social dialogue in Poland, public authorities and other organisations promoting decent work. The meetings did not only serve as a forum for the exchange of opinions, but also helped to determine measures and activities that should and can be undertaken for the improvement of dialogue.

Another activity was four workshop meetings attended by representatives of project partners and other social dialogue institutions, public authorities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Participants worked together on a set of guidelines and recommendations regarding co-operation with social dialogue participants.

Representatives of organisations participating in social dialogue in Poland also took part in a study visit to Norway (in a remote form due to pandemic restrictions). Its aim was to become familiar with good practices used in Norway; for this purpose, a series of meetings with social dialogue organisations and public authorities was held. In particular, the participants focused on the possibility of using these practices in Poland.

Results of the aforementioned activities contributed to the preparation of this publication.

The project was supported by Norway through the Norway Grants (2014–2021) under the Social Dialogue – Decent Work programme.
