Freedom of Union inside Religious Organizations. A few comparative Cues.

ABSTRACT: Inside religious Organizations clerics are forbidden to form and to join trade unions . This paper takes its cue from the case of the “Sindicatul Păstorul cel Bun”, to whom Romania refused the registration as a trade union, in order to point out that a few duties practised by priests in favour of their churches are not closely spirituals but rather neutral. Thus, with regard to them, the foregoing ban doesn’t appear as “necessary in a democratic society” under the art. 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights .
