Not the case in Wales (or NI if I understand) where social partnership working between unions, business and the public sector is strong.

But the Welsh Assembly can't do anything on primary legislation such as this - nonetheless if genuine partnership working existed with the UK Government, we'd have much less to fear on matters like this.

As I know it, the social contract is f.e. one between generations.

as in the social contract that I give up some of my freedoms in order to receive basic protection and security from the state?

Yes;that would be one between the People and the State.
