In its previous comments, the Committee had requested the Government to provide detailed information on the number of trade unions of public employees existing in the country, as well as on the number of collective agreements concluded by them, and the categories and the number of public employees covered by such agreements. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that the Public Services Orders (2011) (third revised edition) was adopted, as updated based on the circulars issued between 2003 and December 2010, which stipulate that the policy of the Government is to encourage active participation by employees in the trade unions’ affairs and that such active participation shall not prejudice an employee’s public service career (section 123). However, the Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that trade unions have not had much impact in the Seychelles Public Service, in view of the fact that employees have recourse to other instances in the event of any grievance, namely the Public Service Appeal Board (PSAB), the Ombudsman and Judicial Review. In these circumstances, the Committee once again requests the Government to indicate: (i) the number of trade unions of public employees existing in the country; (ii) the number of collective agreements concluded by them; and (iii) the categories and the number of public employees covered by such agreements. The Committee further requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to encourage the active participation of public employees in the trade unions’ affairs.
