Discrimination on political grounds. The Committee took note in its previous comments of an observation of the Trade Union Unification Confederation (CUS) reporting that 21,000 public sector workers had been dismissed because they were not members or did not share the ideology of the present Government and that 128 trade unions had ceased to exist. The Committee notes in this connection that according to the Government, the organization has not backed up its assertions with information such as the number of persons dismissed, the state institutions from which they were dismissed or the names of the trade unions disbanded. The Committee observes that these allegations are serious and warrant the Government’s full attention. In view of the seriousness of the allegations, the Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to initiate an investigation to examine these allegations, and to take steps to overcome any discrimination. It also asks the Government to report any developments in this regard. The Committee also asks the CUS to provide the Government with further details about the reported dismissals, including the names of the workers dismissed and the state institutions concerned, to enable the Government to conduct its investigation promptly.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
