!!!Sozialpartnerschaft

Social Partnership: a system of co-operation between employers' 
organisations ( Employers' Associations) and employees' organisations 
( Workers' Representation). In Austria the social partnership system 
is highly developed and in the Second Republic it has always played an 
important part in maintaining social peace. In Austria the social 
partnership system also includes co-operation between the government 
and the social partners, which is effected through the  Paritaetische 
Kommission (established in 1957) and the institutions subordinated to 
it, such as the Advisory Board for Economic Affairs and many other 
commissions and advisory boards. The system plays an important part in 
economic policy-making, especially in the fields of incomes policy and 
economic stabilisation policies. The institution of social partnership 
also exists in other countries, mainly in EU member states. In Austria 
 Economic Chambers,  Chambers of Agriculture, Chambers of Labour ( 
Chambers of Labour) and the  Trade Unions are involved in the social 
partnership system, where they are represented at national level (as 
well as in the provinces) by their head organisations.
