Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

The Committee notes the Government's report.

The Committee observes from the Government's report that between 1994 and 1999, the number of trade unions catering for agricultural workers decreased from 33 to 11 and that workers belonging to trade unions fell from 30,979 to 19,022. The Committee requests the Government to provide clarifications for these important decreases.

The Committee would like to recall that the Convention applies not only to plantation workers but also to all those employed in the agricultural sector.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2000.]
