Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 151) sur les relations de travail dans la fonction publique, 1978 - Espagne (Ratification: 1984)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the comments made by the Trade Union Confederation of Workers' Committees (CC.OO.) stating that the civilian employees of the armed forces do not enjoy basic trade union rights, in particular the right to strike and to conclude collective agreements.

The Committee also notes the contents of Act No. 7/1990, of 19 July 1990, on collective bargaining and participation in the establishment of the working conditions of public employees, which amends Act No. 9/1987, Chapter III, by establishing representative bodies, entitled to determine the working conditions and participation of employees serving in the public administration, all of which reinforces the application of the Convention

The Committee takes due note of the Government's statement that civilian employees of the armed forces are covered by Act No. 7/1990 and considers that, in view of the available information, this point does not call for further comment.
