Delegates of Trade Union Congresses at All Levels: When Can They Be Changed? What Is the Number of Official Delegates Attending the Trade Union Congress?
When Can Delegates of Trade Union Congresses Be Changed?
Based on Subsection d, Sub-item 6.6, Item 6, Instruction 03/HD-TLD in 2020, changes in delegates to trade union congresses at all levels are regulated in the following cases:
- The transition of alternate delegates to official delegates is decided by the executive committee of the trade union level convening the congress, upon the proposal of the subordinate trade union.
- If delegates have been elected, but there is a decision to split the trade union into several new trade unions, the trade union convening the congress can decide to elect additional delegates from the newly split trade unions without delegates (if the number of delegates does not reach the maximum according to regulations).
- If delegates have been elected, but due to the need for splitting or separating, the trade union is assigned to belong to a new higher-level trade union, the new higher-level trade union must convene the delegates from the newly transferred trade union and can increase the number of delegates convened compared to the plan.
- If delegates have been elected, but there is a decision to dissolve that trade union level, the elected delegates are no longer official delegates to attend the higher-level trade union congress.
- Changes in official delegates to the congress or conference must be reflected in the report of the credentials verification committee of the congress.
