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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that it is considering the enactment of a new Labour Code. The Government indicates that the representatives of the parties which participated in its formulation have been invited to re-examine the draft text and it hopes that this examination will be completed according to the established timetable and that it can be enacted.

The Committee recalls that, as early as 1983, it requested the Government to supply information on the measures taken to give effect to Article 2 of the Convention concerning the facilities to be afforded to workers' representatives in the undertaking in order to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently. From the information available, no legal provision, regulation or agreement appears to have been adopted to give effect to Article 2. The Committee also recalls that the Government's report has, since 1982, been announcing the forthcoming adoption of a new Labour Code which would give effect to the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee regrets that the Government has not yet taken legislative or other measures to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention. It invites it to indicate the measures that have been taken to enable workers' representatives to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently (such as: granting them time off to carry out their functions, attend meetings, follow training courses, be present at seminars, conferences and congresses; by giving them access to all workplaces and facilities to collect trade union dues and display notices).
