Labour Relations (Public Service) Convention, 1978 (No. 151) - Netherlands (RATIFICATION: 1988)

The Committee takes note of the information communicated by the Government in reply to its previous comments.

It notes that the Government states that access to the Central Commission for Organised Consultations has never been denied to an organisation representing public servants on the grounds that its admission would conflict with the general interest under section 106(2) of the General Public Service Regulations.

However, since it considers that that section might limit the means that should be available to public employees' organisations to negotiate their conditions of employment with the public authorities concerned pursuant to Article 7 of the Convention, the Committee asks the Government to indicate in its future reports whether section 106(2) has been applied and if so to define the scope of the notion "in conflict with the general interest".
