Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Termination of Employment Convention, 1982 (No. 158) - Sweden (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraphs 4 to 6, of the Convention. Referring to its previous request, the Committee notes that, in the Government's view based on its jurisprudence, workers holding managerial positions in the private sector enjoy protection at least equivalent to that offered by the Convention, though the Act on the protection of employment is not applicable to them. The Committee notes, furthermore that, by virtue of the 1994 Act on Public Employment, the provisions of the Act on the Protection of Employment relating to termination are directly applicable to public servants. Please continue to provide information on legislation and practice in regard to categories of workers excluded from the application of the Convention and, in particular, on whether they enjoy equivalent protection.

Parts IV and V of the report form. Please continue to provide information, including statistical data, on the application of the Convention in practice, as required by the report form approved by the Governing Body.
