Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1989, Publicación: 76ª reunión CIT (1989)

Convenio sobre la libertad sindical y la protección del derecho de sindicación, 1948 (núm. 87) - Bélgica (Ratificación : 1951)

In its previous comments, the Committee invited the Government to take steps for the adoption by legislative means of objective, pre-determined and detailed criteria to govern the rules for the access of workers' and employers' occupational organisations to the National Labour Council and to the various public and private sector committees in which binding collective agreements are formulated, in order to avoid any possibility of partiality or abuse in the choice of organisations authorised to sit on these bodies.

The Committee notes with regret the Government's statement that it does not envisage at the present time amending the legislation in this sense. It does, however, indicate that this matter remains one of the Government's concerns and is still under study. The Committee expresses the firm hope that the Government will indicate in its next report the measures that have been taken in order to bring its legislation into conformity with the Convention.
