Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Latvia (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes with satisfaction the amendments made to the Labour Code in 2017, 2018 and 2019, which aim, inter alia, to promote collective bargaining at the sectoral and territorial levels and to strengthen the role of collective agreements. The Committee also notes with interest the national collective agreements concluded or renewed in various sectors since 2019 (health and care, railway, construction, glass fibre industry, hospitality and catering). The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the number of collective agreements concluded and in force in the country, the sectors concerned and the number of workers covered by these agreements.
