Application of the Convention in practice.In its previous comment, the Committee noted that, as a result of the 2015 amendment to the Industrial Relations Act (IRA), rank-and-file trade unions were now allowed to represent the executive employees on a collective basis. The Committee welcomes the Government’s indication that the 2015 IRA amendment facilitated progress in the representation of executive employees collectively, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, services, and manufacturing. While taking due note of these elements, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the number of collective agreements concluded and in force in the country, the sectors concerned, and the number of workers covered by these agreements.
