Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2008, Publicación: 98ª reunión CIT (2009)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. The Committee had asked the Government to indicate what sanctions may be imposed against acts of discrimination which undermine freedom of association and acts of interference by employers and their organizations in workers’ organizations and vice versa. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that there is no appropriate legislation providing for sanctions against acts of anti-union discrimination. The Committee therefore asks the Government, once again, to take the necessary steps to adopt appropriate legislation which imposes sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions against acts of anti-union discrimination and acts of interference committed by employers against trade union organizations, in conformity with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee reminds the Government that it may seek technical assistance from the Office in this respect.

The Committee is addressing a request on other points directly to the Government.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
