The parliament ratified ILO Convention 94 on labour clauses in public contracts in October 2014. The Autonomous Trade Union of Road Maintenance Workers ATURMWS has been lobbying and advocating for its ratification ever since 2006. The ratification has been used as a basis for the work on ‘blacklisting’ of socially irresponsible companies in the sector of road construction and maintenance. The Ministry of construction, traffic and infrastructure has formed a working group on blacklisting of socially irresponsible companies in which representatives of ATURMWS participate. The outcome of such black lists is that companies which do not pay taxes, salaries and contributions of employees and which have undeclared workers will not be eligible as contractors in the public procurement processes where the investor is the state or local authority.
