right of objection and right of option

Right of objection

Right of objection consists in the non-unionized public employees’ expression of will to the non-application of a specific collective labour agreement. The public employee shall express, within the legal timeframe, his/hers opposition to the agreement’s application.

Trade unions associations concerned with legitimacy to conclude the agreement may also express opposition to an agreements’ application regarding their members.

Right of option

Whenever to the public employer more than one collective agreement may be applied, the non-unionized public employee shall opt for by writing which one will be applied to him.

If the public employee shall not exercise his/her option right the collective labour regulation instrument that shall apply to him/her will be the one covering the majority of public employees within the public employer.
