The statement expressed that the principle of freedom of association has been damaged by one of the State’s powers, when a court of the National Labour Chamber adopted an unprecedented measure in relation to the Bank Union, by appointing an informant or permanent supervisor with control over all the activities and fields of action of the union organisation, with intervention in political affairs dealing with the worker’s interests in economic, financial and contractual issues.



The statement ends by declaring that the measure is not only irrational but also excessive and that the CGT completely rejects this interference and publicly expresses its solidarity with bank workers and the Bank Union, warning that the pertinent measures will be taken, including the denunciation before the Committee on Freedom of Association of the International Labour Organisation, ILO.
