Today we commemorate the anniversary of the Labour Day as a reminder of the importance of the social struggles that led to the establishment of workers' rights.
Both the development of the economy and the cohesion of society cannot be achieved without putting Man at the centre.
The State must ensure that working conditions are safe and decent, that wages are fair and satisfactory, that rules are enforced and that laws are observed without any discrimination.
Our country has a long history of industrial peace due to the well-developed tripartite social dialogue, the high sense of responsibility and the maturity of the social partners in adopting decisions and policies that over time meet the needs of society and the potential of the economy.
And at this difficult juncture, I strongly believe that the social partners will act accordingly and compromise agreements will be reached with a direct positive impact for workers and safeguarding their rights, as the State is pursuing through its efforts with the recent compromise proposal on ATA, which aims in this direction.
