Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

The Committee has taken note of the recommendations of the Committee on Freedom of Association in Case No. 1508 in its 284th Report, in which it noted with concern the numerous and serious incompatibilities of the new Trade Union Act with the principles of freedom of association - and in particular the lack of protection afforded to workers against acts of anti-union discrimination. The Committee observes that in its conclusions on the case, the Committee on Freedom of Association had stressed that the Act did not contain any provision to ensure respect for the right to organize as defined in Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention (paragraph 438) and that it was silent on the promotion of voluntary negotiation between employers' and workers' organizations (paragraph 439), covered by Article 4 of the Convention.

The Committee asks the Government to give full information on the measures taken to amend its legislation so as to bring it into conformity with the Convention.

[The Government is asked to supply full particulars to the Conference at its 81st Session and to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1994.]
