Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Poland (Ratification: 1957)

The Committee notes the comments made by the National Trade Union of Nurses and Midwives and the Trade Union of Medical Analytic Technicians on the application of Article 1 of the Convention and requests the Government to provide its observations thereon.

Articles 1 and 2. Protection against acts of anti-union discrimination at the time of recruitment and during the course of employment and against acts of interference. The Committee had previously noted the Government’s statement to the effect that sanctions incurred for acts of anti-union discrimination and interference are governed by the Penal Code and not the Act of 23 May 1991. The Committee once again asks the Government to specify what sanctions can be imposed in these instances and to forward the text of the pertinent sections of the Penal Code.
