Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Belgium (Ratification: 1953)

The Committee notes the observations made by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) in a communication of 26 August 2009, reporting that there are anti-union dismissals despite the protection afforded by the Act of 19 March 1991 establishing special rules on dismissal applying to staff representatives on works councils and on committees for safety, health and the enhancement of workplaces, and for candidates standing for such office. The Committee requests the Government to send its comments in reply to the ITUC’s communication.
