The complaint was registered on 6 February 2024. It relates to Article 6§2 (the right to collective bargaining) of the revised European Social Charter. The complainant organisations allege that the 1996 Wage Law and its 2017 amendments, which allow the Government to impose in advance a maximum margin available for wage increases, seriously undermine the autonomy of the parties to collective bargaining, in breach of Article 6§2 of the Charter. The complainant organisations further maintain that these restrictions on collective bargaining do not comply with Article G of the Charter.
