It is substantiated that one of the priority tasks of trade unions on the way to building a modern social state should be promoting of sustainable development from a productive social dialogue between the state, employers (private sector) and civil society institutions. It is concluded that since a social state is not a permanent structure, and dynamically develops in each country with its peculiarities, the participation of trade unions in the development of welfare states in each state is different. The article states that in new socio-political realities, before the trade unions, there are many challenges: the reduction of membership in connection with the preservation of crisis trends in the economy and structural changes in society, unfavorable political conditions, the growth of non-typical forms of employment.
