Convenio sobre la libertad sindical y la protección del derecho de sindicación, 1948 (núm. 87) - España (Ratificación : 1977)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the comments by the Trade Union Confederation of Workers' Commissions (CC.OO.).

In its previous observations, the Committee expressed and reiterated the hope that the Bill concerning strikes and collective disputes would fully respect the principles of freedom of association with regard to strikes and, in particular, minimum services.

In this connection, the Committee notes that, according to the Government, the above-mentioned Bill has been sent to Parliament. Furthermore, the Committee notes with interest the "Agreement on the Extrajudicial Settlement of Labour Disputes (ASEC)" concluded on 25 January 1996 by two workers' confederations (UGT and CC.OO.) and two employers' confederations (CEOE and CEPYME), whose purpose is to create and develop a system for the settlement of collective labour disputes between workers and employers or their respective organizations.

The Committee asks the Government to inform it of any amendments to the legislation in this connection.
