# Our convictions

Quality social dialogue is vital for accomplishing objectives and orchestrating major transformations. Respect for labour partners and their capacity to find agreements are key factors that condition the quality of dialogue.

Labour unions have a key role to play in facilitating and fostering social dialogue, notably within European works councils and sector-based commissions to promote social dialogue set up by the European Commission.
