| Qualitative Info |
There are no legal restrictions for migrants and minorities to become members of trade unions. The trade unions do not bar migrants from becoming their members on the grounds of nationality. The statute of the Confederation of trade unions of Slovenia Pergam states that any worker who concluded an employment contract for full time or part time work or for a permanent or temporary employment may become a member of this trade union (Article 16). The statutes of trade unions which are members of the Union of Free Trade Unions of Slovenia also allow all workers to become members, and their membership does not depend on their nationality.
