After a brief overview of the precedents in constitutional case law, and the inconsistencies between them, the essay focuses on the new selective criterion added by Constitutional Court Judgment No. 156/2025 to the text of Article 19 of Law No. 300/1970. While noting the tension this entails with the criterion resulting from the 1995 referendum, the essay highlights the reasons that explain and justify the Court’s additive intervention. It then examines the main problems of application and possible solutions. Finally, it observes that any legislative revision of the provision, as urged by the Court, is not constitutionally bound to take the undertaking as the reference for assessing representativeness.
Keywords: Article 19 of Law No. 300/1970; Workplace union representatives; Questions of constitutional legitimacy.
