Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2025, published 114th ILC session (2026)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Slovenia (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes the observations of the Confederation of Trade Unions of Slovenia (PERGAM) transmitted with the Government’s report.

In its previous comment, the Committee requested the Government to indicate whether the adoption of a new legislation regulating strikes was envisaged. The Committee observes that the Strike Act (1991) is still in force. The Committee notes that according to the PERGAM, the existing legislation on the right to strike conflicts with the Slovenian Constitution and the Convention as it imposes disproportionate restrictions and allows authorities to intervene without predefined conditions. The PERGAM alleges a recurring pattern of arbitrary, temporary, and radical interventions by the executive branch, creating practical obstacles to exercising the right to strike. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard and to review, in consultation with the social partners, the Strike Act to ensure its conformity with the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on all steps taken to that end.
