Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1992, Publicación: 79ª reunión CIT (1992)

The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government's report to the effect that, in the preparation of the implementing legislation of the Labour Code, attention will be given to the question of the exercise of the right to strike, particularly in the essential services referred to in section 342 of the Code. The Government states that a list of such services is being examined and will be submitted to the social partners for their opinion before its adoption.

The Committee hopes that the Government will do everything possible to ensure that the list is in keeping with the principles of the right to organise whereby the limitation or prohibition of the right to strike should be confined to services whose interruption would endanger the life, personal safety or health of the whole or part of the population. It asks the Government, in its next report, to provide information on developments in this respect, including the list of essential services now being prepared.
