Subject to the following modifications registered by the ILO on 20 July 1979, which are identical to those registered in respect of Convention No. 87, the independence of the operations of the trade unions of rural workers is fully respected:
1.
All officers of a trade union are required to be or have engaged or employed in the trade, industry or occupation with which the trade union is directly concerned but this requirement may be modified at the discretion of the public authority.
2. The funds of a trade union may be expended only for objects specified in national laws or approved by the public authority.
3. Amalgamation of registered trade unions is subject to the consent of the public authority where either of the trade unions is a member of an organisation established outside the territory.
4.
5.
6.
The public authority may in certain circumstances intervene for the purpose of supervising the accounts of trade unions and ensuring the application of their rules.
The consent of the public authority is required for affiliation of trade unions with international organisations.
Federations of trade unions may be established only by registered trade unions engaged in the same trade, occupation or industry, and membership of federations of trade unions is restricted to registered trade unions engaged in the same trade, occupation or industry as the component trade unions comprising such trade union federations.
7. The modifications relating to primary trade unions apply also to federations of trade unions, except that no person who is not or has not been engaged in a trade, industry or occupation with which the primary union is directly concerned may be an officer of a federation of trade unions.
The
acquisition of legal personality through registration is subject only to statutory provisions which are designed to ensure the proper management of the organisation and to protect the interests of its members.
