The Committee notes the comments submitted by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) in a communication dated 4 August 2011, in which it alleges that a strike called by teachers was declared illegal by courts and cancelled, as well as the Government’s reply corroborating this information. Recalling that the right to strike constitutes a fundamental right of workers and of their organizations which can be restricted or prohibited in the public service only for public servants exercising authority in the name of the State and in the essential services in the strict sense of the term, the Committee requests the Government to ensure that teachers can exercise the right to strike in law and in practice. It further requests the Government to transmit with its next report a copy of the court decision in the abovementioned case.
