Labour law reform adopted in Lithuania.
On 6 June, the Lithuanian parliament adopted a reform to the country’s labour law, after a cooperative effort with social partners (see article n°10169). The tripartite social consultation body, made up of the government and social partners, had secured an agreement on a series of amendments to the version that had been adopted by the parliament on 14 September 2016 (see article n°9825). The following has therefore been added by elected representatives to the provisions that had already been adopted:
- The right for a trade union which represents at least 1/3 of staff to enjoy all the rights of the WC;
- The right for the WC (or if one is not present, the trade union) to request information on pay, temporary contracts, telework and temporary staff;
- Advance consultation with staff representatives in the case of unequal distribution of working time, with an upper limit of 52 hours in seven days established.;
- The right for staff representatives whose rights to information/consultation have not been respected to submit an appeal within two months;
- The introduction of short-time working;
- The creation of a framework for temping agencies;
- The payment of compensation to roaming workers, to cover their travel expenditure.
