Facilities for workers representatives18

Access to the management

1. In cases of the refusal by the management of an enterprise to establish communications with the representatives of the trade union, the Committee pointed out that Paragraph 13 of the Workers Representatives Recommendation (No. 143) provides that workers representatives should be granted without undue delay access to the management of the undertaking and to management representatives empowered to take decisions, as may be necessary for the proper exercise of their functions.

1. Access to employers facilities should not be exercised to the detriment of the efficient functioning of the enterprise concerned.
