Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1995, publiée 83ème session CIT (1996)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

In a communication dated 4 February 1994, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) states that there is lack of legislative protection for trade unionists against acts of anti-union discrimination in respect of their employment. The Government indicates that it has been involved in a comprehensive review of employment legislation over the past 12 months which has included the area of unfair dismissal. As part of the external consultation process, the TUC was invited to submit its views for consideration. Further to the conclusion of this review, relevant legislation is now being prepared.

The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any progress made in the adoption of this legislation, as well as to send it a copy thereof once it has been adopted.
