Summary/Abstract: The paper involves applying sociological, normative and comparative methods in critically analyzing the role of trade unions, as well as social non-governmental organizations in the context of improving the social status of different categories of workers. Particular consideration is given to possible forms of cooperation in controlling the implementation of the provisions of ratified international treaties, particularly, the European and Revised European Social Charter. Furthermore, the paper deals with cooperation between trade unions and social non-governmental organizations regarding the adoption of national legal standards in terms of improving the working conditions, as well as judicial protection of workers’ rights. The adoption of the principle of tripartism plus has been identified as an adequate normative response in the context of trade unions’ decline, and changes in the labor market and organization of work caused by globalization, advances in technologies, and information society development.
