ILO Committee on freedom of association at FIAT. In the published proceedings the committee asks the government to act quickly in the case.
Soon after the adoption of Conventions Nos. 87 and 98 on freedom of association and collective bargaining, the ILO concluded that the principle of freedom of association needed a supervisory procedure to ensure compliance with it in countries. The created Committee on freedom of association dealt with the Fiat-dispute in its March 2014 meeting (see earlier issues of this Newsletter). In the published proceedings the committee asks the government to act quickly in the case, to bring together the parties concerned, to insure the deductions of membership fees, to watch over the reinstatement of the union FIOM-CGIL delegates and to take all other necessary measures.
