Should labor unions be required to have government-registered legal status?

The Uruguayan government recently implemented laws requiring unions to possess 'personería jurídica' (legal personality) to access certain rights, like automatic dues collection. This aims to ensure financial transparency and hold union leadership accountable for damages during strikes. Proponents argue it ends the 'impunity' of powerful union bosses. Opponents, specifically the PIT-CNT, view it as state interference in union independence and a violation of ILO conventions.
