Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Hungary (Ratification: 1957)

The Committee takes note of the comments made by the National Confederation of Hungarian Trade Unions (MSZOSZ) on Law No. 28 of 11 July 1991 respecting the protection of trade union property, equal opportunities of association for workers and equal opportunities of operation for their organizations, and Law No. 29 of 11 July 1991 respecting the voluntary nature of the payment of trade union membership dues, which, according to the MSZOSZ, impaired the right of trade unions to organize the management of their property freely, and on the provisions of the Labour Code of 1992 and of Act No. 33 of 1992 issuing the conditions of employment of public employees, which make a distinction between the most representative trade unions and the others.

The Committee asks the Government to respond to these comments and to submit any observations it may deem appropriate so that the Committee can address these specific questions at its next meeting.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1993.]
