Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body - Report No 392, October 2020

Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body

1. 21. The present case, in which the complainant organization – the National Union of Electric Energy (SNEE) – denounces interference by the public authorities and the employer in an internal union leadership dispute, was examined by the Committee at its October 2014 meeting [see 373rd Report, paras 79–108.] In its recommendations, noting the judicial decision of 31 December 2013 handed down by the Court of First Instance of Douala-Ndokoti declaring null and void the SNEE extraordinary congress of 4 August 2012 and the resolutions adopted in the course of its work, the Committee urged the Government to indicate without delay the consequences of this decision on the leadership of the SNEE. The Committee also urged the Government and the complainant organization to indicate without delay whether an appeal had been lodged against this judicial decision and, if so, to inform it of the outcome of the relevant judicial proceedings.
2. 22. In its communication dated 5 March 2020, the Government indicates that the present case is closely linked to Case No. 3212, in that the leadership issue affecting the SNEE has not been resolved and is once again before the courts.
3. 23. While noting with regret that the issue of dual leadership affecting the SNEE has still not been resolved, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government and refers to its conclusions in the context of Case No. 3212. In view of these circumstances, the Committee considers this case closed and will not pursue its examination.
