Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2004, Publicación: 93ª reunión CIT (2005)

Convenio sobre los representantes de los trabajadores, 1971 (núm. 135) - Países Bajos (Ratificación : 1975)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report which contains observations on the comments of the Netherlands Trade Union Confederation (FNV). The Committee also notes the comments made by the National Federation of Christian Trade Unions (CNV) and the Trade Union Federation for Middle and Higher Level Employees (MHP) on the Government’s report.

The Committee notes that under the Review Framework for declaring collective agreements applicable, provisions which "infringe on the employer’s territory" (understood as both the territory on which the company is established as well as the communication and consultation structure within the company) are not eligible to be declared compulsorily applicable (such provisions include, for instance, access of certain organisations to industrial premises). The Committee takes note of this information and invites the Government to discuss the issue of access of trade union representatives to industrial premises with the most representative workers’ and employers’ organizations.
