National Dialogue for Social Security
The National Dialogue for Social Security was convened in 2005 by the then current President in order to discuss the proposed reforms to the Social Security Act. Workers, employers, retirees and professionals were invited to sit down and work with the government. The Confederation of Retirees and Pensioners, the National Council of Private Enterprise (Span. CONEP), the Federation of Professional Associations (Span. FEDAP), the Confederation of Retirees, and eight trade unions participated. Among the trade unions were the National Council of Organized Workers (Span. CONATO) and the National Confederation of Trade Union Unity (Span. CONUSI). The health sector was represented by doctors and nurses. Teachers were also represented through the National Front for the Defense of Social Security (Span. FRENADESSO).
