The Committee notes the Government’s report.
Very low number of collective agreements. The Committee notes that the Government has sent copies of two collective agreements (telecommunications and private security) and indicates that collective bargaining must be voluntary and that the Government’s role is to promote it without forcing it. The Government adds that the Office’s technical assistance to strengthen the capacities of the social partners in collective bargaining techniques would contribute to improving the situation. The Government indicates that the social partners are in agreement to request this technical assistance. Furthermore, in its awareness of the value of collective bargaining, the Government indicates that the Ministry of Labour has declared 2005 to be the "Year for the promotion of collective bargaining".
The Committee requests the Government to continue its efforts to promote collective bargaining and hopes that the technical assistance requested by the Government with the agreement of the social partners will be provided in the near future.
