Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

The Committee takes note of the information supplied at the Conference Committee in 1989 and of the Government's report.

In its previous observation, the Committee asked the Government to report on the progress of (1) the revision of section 34 of the Decree of 4 November 1983, which confers on the Service of Social Organisations the power to intervene in the preparation of collective agreements, and (2) the adoption of specific provisions prescribing protective measures against anti-union discrimination at the time of recruitment and reinstatement of workers dismissed on grounds of legitimate trade union activities.

The Committee notes that, in its reports, the Government indicates that the committee in charge of reforming the Labour Code is engaged in a comprehensive examination of the Decrees being drafted to amend section 34 of the Decree of 4 November 1983 and the Decrees concerning protective measures against anti-union discrimination.

The Committee trusts that, in view of the recent changes in Haiti, the Government will be in a position to provide information in its next report on the measures taken by the above committee to bring the legislation into full conformity with the Convention.
