Da (in)compatibilidade do art. 497.º do código do trabalho com a liberdade sindical

Abstract

The personal scope of collective labor agreements is determined by the principle of (double) affiliation, being reserved for workers affiliated to the signing trade union associations and to the employers who signed them, or members of the signatory employers' associations. However, there are several exceptions allowed to this rule. This dissertation will focus on one of these exceptions – art. 497.º CT – and the consequences that may arise from this extension of the effects of collective agreements to workers who are not members of trade unions, on their own initiative, especially towards freedom of association, a fundamental and basic right of our society, seen as a condition and guarantee for the construction of workers' unity.
