Artikel 28 - Forhandlingsret og ret til kollektive skridt

Arbejdstagere og arbejdsgivere eller deres respektive organisationer har i overensstemmelse med EU-retten og national lovgivning og praksis ret til at forhandle og indgå kollektive overenskomster på passende niveauer og i tilfælde af interessekonflikter ret til kollektive skridt, herunder strejke, for at forsvare deres interesser.

  • Text:

    Denne artikel er baseret på artikel 6 i den europæiske socialpagt og på fællesskabspagten om arbejdstagernes grundlæggende arbejdsmarkedsmæssige og sociale rettigheder (punkt 12-14). Retten til kollektive skridt er blevet anerkendt af Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstol som et af elementerne i retten til at organisere sig i henhold til artikel 11 i EMK. For så vidt angår de passende niveauer for indgåelse af kollektive overenskomster henvises der til forklaringerne til den foregående artikel. De nærmere regler og begrænsninger for de kollektive skridt, herunder strejke, henhører under national ret og praksis, herunder også spørgsmålet, om de kan foregå parallelt i flere medlemsstater.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Disse forklaringer blev oprindelig udarbejdet under præsidiet for den forsamling, der udarbejdede chartret om grundlæggende rettigheder. De er blevet ajourført under Det Europæiske Konvents præsidiums ansvar i lyset af de udkast til tilpasninger, som konventet har foretaget i charterteksten (især i artikel 51 og 52) og videreudviklingen af EU-retten. Selv om forklaringerne ikke i sig selv har retskraft, udgør de et værdifuldt fortolkningsinstrument beregnet til nærmere præcisering af chartrets bestemmelser.
