Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - Spain (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee takes note of the Government's report and the observations submitted by the General Union of Workers (UGT). The UGT states that there are certain practical shortcomings in the provisions covering the guarantees to enable workers' representatives to carry out their functions, and refers specifically to the use of time off. The Committee takes due note of the court decisions attached to the Government's report concerning the UGT's complaints regarding time off.

In addition, the Committee notes with interest the promulgation of the Act respecting labour procedure issued by Royal Legislative Decree No. 521/1990, repealing the Act on labour procedure issued by Royal Legislative Decree No. 1568/1980, and the promulgation of Act No. 2/1991 of 7 January 1991, extending the functions of workers' representatives with regard to labour contracts.
