Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request.

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, to its knowledge, no concrete legislative measures have yet been adopted.

The Committee hopes that the draft Code in question will be adopted rapidly. It requests the Government to inform it of the adoption of the draft, to provide a copy and to indicate any other legislative measures taken to ensure that full effect is given to the Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
