Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Labour Relations (Public Service) Convention, 1978 (No. 151) - Netherlands (Ratification: 1988)

The Committee takes note of the Government's report.

With reference to its previous comment that section 106(2) of the General Public Service Regulations referring to "conflict with the general interest" might limit the means that should be available to public employees' organizations to negotiate their conditions of employment with the public authorities concerned pursuant to Article 7 of the Convention, the Committee notes the Government's statement that, in the period covered by the report, this section has not been applied.

The Committee asks the Government to continue to indicate in its future reports whether section 106(2) has been applied and to define the scope of the notion "conflict with the general interest".
