    A two-day seminar in Buenos Aires on “Innovation and Decent Work” was organized by the OAS Office of Education, Science and Technology of the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development, in conjunction with the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Summits of the Americas Secretariat.  The purpose of the seminar was to bring together members of the Trade Union Technical Advisory Council (COSATE) and the Business Technical Advisory Committee on Labor Matters (CEATAL) to draft a common set of recommendations to present during the civil society dialogue at the Summit Implementation Review Group (SIRG) meeting to be held immediately after the seminar.  COSATE and CEATAL are standing advisory committees which work with Ministries of Labor in a tripartite arrangement.  They will be fully engaged in the preparation of the Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labor (IACML) to be held in Mexico, September 26-27.  The consensus document was produced and presented jointly by union and business representatives to national summit coordinators during the civil society dialogue on the second day of the SIRG.  (see http://www.oest.oas.org for the text of the document and presentations made at the seminar.) 

    The seminar included presentations by the Minister of Labor of Argentina, the Director of the Office of Education, Science and Technology, the Deputy Secretary for Technical Programming and Labor Studies of the Argentine Ministry of Labor, a professor of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a Regional Director of the ILO, a Regional Specialist on Female Workers and Gender of the ILO, a Regional Specialist on Worker Education of the ILO, the President of CEATAL and the Deputy Secretary for Human Development of the Labor Ministry of Mexico.
