Article 3 of the Convention. Minimum services. The Committee recalls that it had previously requested the Government to amend section 412 of the Labour Code, so as to ensure that any disagreement concerning minimum services in organizations responsible for safety, health and life of people and vital interests of society, where minimum services must be ensured during a strike, is settled not by the executive body but by an independent body having the confidence of all parties to the dispute. The Committee notes that in its 2011 report, the Government indicates that a body of executive power of the Russian Federation is entitled to define minimum services, but its decision may be appealed by the parties to the collective labour dispute to the court. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the average duration of the dispute resolution procedure before the relevant bodies of the executive power and the courts, in case of an appeal, in relation to minimum services.
