Article 18General Binding Effect in a Locality

第十八条(地域的の一般的拘束力)

When a majority of the workers of the same kind in a particular locality come under application of a particular collective agreement, the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare or the prefectural governor may, at the request of either one or both of the parties to the collective agreement and, pursuant to a resolution of the Labour Relations Commission, decide that the collective agreement (including an agreement amended pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2)) should apply to the remaining workers of the same kind employed in the same locality and to their employers.

一の地域において従業する同種の労働者の大部分が一の労働協約の適用を受けるに至つたときは、当該労働協約の当事者の双方又は一方の申立てに基づき、労働委員会の決議により、厚生労働大臣又は都道府県知事は、当該地域において従業する他の同種の労働者及びその使用者も当該労働協約(第二項の規定により修正があつたものを含む。)の適用を受けるべきことの決定をすることができる。

In the case the Labour Relations Commission, in adopting the resolution set forth in the preceding paragraph, finds that the collective agreement contains inappropriate parts, the Commission may amend those parts.

労働委員会は、前項の決議をする場合において、当該労働協約に不適当な部分があると認めたときは、これを修正することができる。

The decision as prescribed in paragraph (1) is to be made by public notice.

第一項の決定は、公告によつてする。
