Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Ratification: 1973)

Display in: French - Spanish

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

The Committee notes the observations of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) received on 1 September 2015 in relation to legislative proposals which, according to the TUC, would undermine the application of the Convention as regards the provision of facilities and time off for workers’ representatives. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments thereon.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report and the observations of the Trades Union Congress appended to that report concerning blacklisting. In relation to the issue of blacklisting of union leaders and members, the Committee refers to its comments under the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98).

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

The Committee notes with interest section 43 of the Employment Act 2002, which provides, in a new section 168A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act, 1992, that employers shall permit union learning representatives to take time off during work hours for certain purposes.

Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

The Committee notes the comments by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) concerning the application of this Convention received on 1 February 1995 and the Government's reply of the same date. As these comments do not directly touch upon the provisions of this Convention and have already been raised under Conventions Nos. 87 and 98, the Committee continues to consider these matters under these latter Conventions.
