Once again the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia demands from the authorities to urgently start the ratification process for the ILO Convention 190 on the elimination of violence and harassment in the world of work. Initiative is widely supported by institutions and individuals in Serbia, which is a confirmation that the ratification of the Convention 190 and its Recommendation 206 is an important link in the improvement of Serbian labour and social legislation and a crucial step in the harmonization of regulations and standards with the EU legislation.
Since June 2021 when the Convention 190 has been enforced in many European countries, with the full support of local ILO offices, preparations for its ratification and full application started. This procedure has been recently finished by Greece. Numerous cases of labour rights violation in both public and private factories and entreprises, formal and informal economy, urban and rural areas make us continue advocating for the ratification and implementation of the Convention in the laws of the Republic of Serbia. We also urge that measures and mechanisms for the prevention of violence and harassment be closely defined. Our demand was also supported by the Euriopean Trade Union Confederation, International Trade Union Confederation and regional ILO office in Budapest, who will be duly informed about the progress in this process.
