Maternity Protection Convention (Revised), 1952 (No. 103) - Greece (Ratification: 1983)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report. It notes with interest in particular that women agricultural workers are covered by the same legislation as other female employees insured by the Social Insurance Institute (IKA).

The Committee also takes note of the judicial decisions communicated by the Government concerning protection against dismissal of women employees during their maternity leave. The Committee notes in this regard that the decisions in question refer to section 15 of Act No. 1483/1984, paragraph 2 of which recalls the applicability of Act No. 1302/1982, making Convention No. 103 an integral part of national law.
