Workers covered by collective bargaining

Temporary and part-time workers

1. Temporary workers should be able to negotiate collectively.

1. While the particular circumstances of the part-time employees may call for differentiated treatment and adjustments as regards the definition of bargaining units, the rules for certification, etc., as well as specific negotiations taking their status and work requirements into account, the Committee fails to see any reason why the principles on the basic rights of association and collective bargaining afforded to all workers should not also apply to part-time employees.
