Better defending and promoting trade union rights in the public sector: Part II. Country reports

This publication is the second part of a wider report covering trade union rights in the public sector. It provides information on trade union rights in the public sector country-by-country.The information is sourced from case law emanating from the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as well as information on trade union rights violations from the International Confedration of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).

The report follows on from the publication of Part I of the wider report entitled 'summary of available tools and action points'. This initial report, published last year, identified what actions could be taken to promote trade union rights in public service sectors. It also mapped out the situation with regard to the application of and respect for trade union rights in the public sector across Europe. The focus was on obstacles to fundamental trade union rights such as freedom of association, collective bargaining, collective action and information and consultation.
