Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

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

Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Protection against acts of anti-union discrimination. The Committee notes that the Government indicates that provisions on anti-union discrimination set out in the Employment Relationship Acts protect against discrimination on account of union membership, covering both jobseekers and employees. The Committee recalls that the obligation to provide protection against union discrimination enshrined in Article 1 of the Convention refers to any prejudicial acts on account of not only union membership but also because of participation in union activities. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the legislation also protects against discrimination for participation in union activities and, if it does not, to undertake any necessary measures to ensure that the legislation provides for the prohibition of all acts of anti-union discrimination, including those on account of union activities, as well as effective and sufficiently dissuasive sanctions.
