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

The Committee notes the information in the Government's report that the implementing legislation of the Labour Code has been drawn up, although it is not yet in force. It requests the Government to transmit any implementing legislation regarding minimum service as well as any other text in respect of the Convention to enable it to examine the scope with reference to the principles of freedom of association.

The Committee regrets that the Government has failed to supply information in response to the comments by the Federation of Energy, Mines and Affiliated Free Trade Unions (FLEEMA) and the Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Gabon (CGSL) regarding the refusal of the directors of the enterprise COGEMAT to allow the personnel thereof to join and participate in FLEEMA trade union activities, on the pretext of not belonging to the same sector of activity.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information in its next report concerning measures taken to grant COGEMAT personnel the right to join the trade union of their choice, in conformity with the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention.
