Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 98) sur le droit d'organisation et de négociation collective, 1949 - Grèce (Ratification: 1962)

With reference to its previous observation, in which it requested the Government to indicate the measures that have been taken to re-establish the autonomy of the social partners in the negotiation procedures for wage increases, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that the League of Greek Industries and the Greek General Confederation of Workers, following free collective bargaining, have signed a new national general collective labour agreement for a two-year period covering 1991 and 1992.

The Committee trusts that the principle of the voluntary negotiation of collective agreements, and therefore the autonomy of the social partners, which is a fundamental aspect of freedom of association, will be respected in future and requests the Government to continue supplying full information in this respect in its future reports.
