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

Restrictions on the right of public servants, other than those excluded by Article 6 of the Convention, to bargain collectively. The Committee takes note with interest of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous direct request, in particular to the effect that teachers - through their organisation, the PGRI - and employees in five state-owned corporations have been engaging in trade union activities as trade unions and particularly collective bargaining. It thanks the Government for supplying copies of recently concluded collective agreements, for example in the coal-mining sector.

Noting that certain other trade union organisations exist in the public sector apart from the KORPRI, to which public servants must belong by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 82 of 1971 (such as the PKBA for railway workers and the SSPT for postal workers), the Committee requests the Government to continue to supply information on the activities of such organisations showing that the requirements of Article 4 of the Convention are being applied in practice. In addition, the Committee would appreciate receiving detailed information on the existence and functioning of mixed committees where employers' and workers' organisations covering public servants, other than those excluded by Article 6, are able to negotiate collectively terms and conditions of employment.
