Seguimiento dado a las recomendaciones del Comité y del Consejo de Administración - Informe núm. 330, Marzo 2003

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 177. At its June 2002 meeting, the Committee urged the Government “to take the necessary measures without delay to ensure that: (a) the trade union of the Corporación INLACA enterprise, called the Trade Union of Revolutionary Workers of the New Millennium, is registered; and (b) all of the workers of the enterprise who were dismissed for having participated in the establishment and application for registration of the trade union in question are reinstated. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in these respects” [see 328th Report, para. 660].
2. 178. In its communication of 11 November 2002, the Government states that the trade union founders opted for a category of trade union (“enterprise union”) which could not legally include workers who were not working for the same employer. The Government states that the new union has initiated a legal challenge to the decision of the Ministry of Labour not to register it, and adds that it invites the founders to choose a different category of trade union.
3. 179. The Committee notes the Government’s information and requests the Government to supply a copy of any court ruling regarding the refusal to register the complainant. At the same time, the Committee deplores the fact that the Government has not supplied any information in connection with its recommendation concerning the reinstatement of all the workers who were dismissed for participating in the establishment of the union in question, and urges the Government to take measures without delay to ensure that these workers are reinstated in their posts. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in this regard.
