Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the comments of the General Union of Workers (UGT).

In its previous observation, the Committee noted that the basic Bill in relation to strikes and collective disputes had been sent to Parliament with the agreement of the Trade Union Confederation of Workers' Commissions (CC.OO) and the UGT; the text provided that responsibility for determining those who are to provide minimum essential services will be shared between the employers and the trade unions, or the representatives of the workers who have called the strike.

The Committee expresses the hope that the future basic law respecting strikes and collective disputes will fully respect the principles of freedom of association in relation to strikes and, in particular, minimum services.
