Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

The Committee notes the Government’s report and particularly the fact that: (1) there are no provisions providing protection against anti-union discrimination; (2) trade unions guarantee protection against acts of interference; and (3) no machinery has been established to give effect to Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention.

The Committee concludes that the legislation is not in conformity with any of the provisions of the Convention and requests the Government to take measures to include in the legislation provisions which provide protection against acts of anti-union discrimination and interference by the employer or employers’ organizations in workers’ organizations (and vice versa) and which encourage collective bargaining in the private and public sectors (with the sole possible exception of public servants engaged in the administration of the State).

The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any measures taken in this respect and hopes to be able to note progress in the near future. Finally, the Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the full text of the Trade Union Act.
