Although the social partnership and peak-level negotiations in Ireland address a variety of issues, the result is greater instability and unpredictability for the economy as a whole, as well as the workplace.

Social Partnership

A collaborative approach between employers, unions, and sometimes governments, aimed at achieving consensus on labor issues and policies.

Peak-Level Negotiations

Talks or deliberations that occur at the highest level between major stakeholders (often involving top officials or leaders) to resolve significant issues or make crucial decisions.
