Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

The Committee notes that the provisions of the new draft Labour Code prepared with the assistance of the ILO, to which the Government refers in its report, have been submitted for consultation purposes to the representative organisations of employers and workers and that the Code should be adopted in the near future.

The Committee recalls that, since 1981, it has been drawing the Government's attention to the fact that, in Costa Rica, the protection of workers' representatives leaves much to be desired, as no relevant legislation exists and protection clauses are not systematically included in collective agreements.

Furthermore, the Committee reminds the Government that, since 1981, its reports have referred to the adoption of a new Labour Code, but that no concrete legislative measures have yet been adopted.

The Committee again requests the Government to report on the adoption of the draft in question, to provide a copy as soon as it has been adopted and to indicate any other legislative measures taken to ensure that full effect is given to the Convention.
