Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2018, published 108th ILC session (2019)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Serbia (Ratification: 2000)

Article 2 of the Convention. Protection against interference. The Committee had previously observed that the Labour Act does not contain any explicit protection against acts of interference of workers’ and employers’ organizations in each other’s establishment, functioning and administration and it had requested the Government take the necessary measures to protect against acts of interference. Noting that the Government provides no comment in this regard, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to adopt provisions providing for full and adequate protection of workers’ and employers’ organizations against any acts of interference against each other, setting up rapid and impartial procedures as well as sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions against such acts, and to provide information on any developments in this regard.

Article 4. Collective bargaining in practice. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the number of collective agreements concluded and in force, the sectors concerned and the number of workers covered by these agreements, as well as on any additional measures undertaken to promote the full development and utilization of collective bargaining under the Convention.
