The Committee notes the Government's report.
Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. The Committee asked the Government to indicate whether the draft reform of the Labour Code will contain sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions against acts of anti-union discrimination and acts of interference by employers or their organizations in trade union matters.
In this respect, the Committee notes with interest that the preliminary draft reform of the Labour Code of December 1996 has strengthened measures and sanctions to protect workers against acts of anti-union discrimination and/or of interference, with fines of 30 to 100 times the highest legal monthly minimum salary (section 390 of the preliminary draft). The Committee requests the Government to send it a copy of the Labour Code once it has been approved.
Articles 4 and 6 of the Convention. The Committee also asked the Government to send it detailed information on the legislation conferring the right to collective bargaining on workers in the public sector other than those who are engaged in the administration of the State, and on any rules applying in the event of collective disputes.
In this respect, the Committee takes due note of the provisions of the Labour Code mentioned by the Government under which employees in public or semi-public institutions or enterprises have the right to collective bargaining on the same terms as other workers (sections 53, 72 and 536), as well as of the legislation applicable in the event of collective disputes. It requests the Government to send it specific information on any collective labour agreement which has been concluded recently by workers and their organizations in public or semi-public institutions or enterprises.
