Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2005, Publicación: 95ª reunión CIT (2006)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

The Committee recalls that in its previous observation it requested the Government to: (1) indicate whether, in cases where the parties do not reach an agreement on a negotiated minimum service in transport and communications (which are not considered to be essential in the strict sense of the term), measures are envisaged for an independent body to examine rapidly the difficulties encountered in the definition of the minimum service; and (2) keep it informed of any measures adopted or envisaged to ensure that compulsory arbitration (contemplated in sections 342, 350 and 351 of the Labour Code) is limited to cases in which the two parties agree to request it, except in essential services in the strict sense of the term or in the event of an acute national crisis.

The Committee notes that the Government indicates that it has taken due note of these observations, which it will take into account when revising the Labour Code.

The Committee requests that the Government keep it informed of developments in this respect.
