Strikes and equivalent action - Council

Opinion of 29 November 2007 concerning administrative management in the event of strikes and equivalent action: deductions from salaries and requisitions (Case 2004-249)
Arrangements concerning the right to strike at the Council are governed by a Staff Note (43/203) dated 2 April 2003 on measures to be applied in the event of strikes and equivalent action and by a record of agreement following consultation dated 24 May 2004. The purpose of the data processing operation is to establish a reliable list of strike participants in order to apply a salary deduction to them and to ensure the requisition of the staff necessary for the operation of certain essential services.
The main recommendations made by the EDPS in the context of his opinion on the procedure for the management of data relating to participation in strikes concern the provision of information to data recipients on the occasion of transfers and to data subjects.
