Pravo na sindikalno udruživanje u praksi komiteta za sindikalne slobode

Abstract

The author, in the paper, points out the importance of the practice of the Committee of Association of the International Labour Organization, which is the cornerstone of modern collective labor law. The recommendations of the Committee regarding the realization and protection of trade union freedoms greatly influenced the adoption and amendment of legal regulations in a large number of countries, which were not in accordance with the ratified Conventions no. 87 on freedom of association and protection of the right to organize, as well as Convention no. 98 on the right to organize and collective bargaining, and where in practice there were restrictions and impediments to the enjoyment of trade union freedoms. In the first part of the paper, the author deals with the right to union association and its guarantees in the legal instruments of the International Labour Organization. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the establishment, composition and jurisdiction of the Committee of Association of the International Labour Organization, while special attention is paid to the procedure before the Committee itself. The central part of the paper refers to the practice and opinions of the Committee, while in the last part of the paper, the author deals with protection against anti-union discrimination.
