Action for declaratory judgement the existence of a collective dispute

The author refers to the evolution of the Supreme Court's jurisprudence regarding the possibility for trade unions to commence an action to declaratory the existence of a collective dispute (Article 189 of the Code of Civil Procedure). More specifically, she presents the reasoning of the most recent judgment in this area, in which the Supreme Court departed from its previous position and accepted that a trade union organisation has a legal interest in declaratory the existence of a collective dispute, which means that it is permissible for it to bring an action against an employer to declare the existence of a collective dispute on the basis of Article 189 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
