Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report.

Article 3. The right of workers’ organizations to organize their activities and to formulate their programmes. In its previous comments, the Committee expressed its concern over the prohibition of third-party intervention in collective bargaining (section 10.1 of the Labour Code) and strike organization (section 120.9), the prohibition of sympathy strikes (section 120.9) and the requirement imposed by section 120.4.2 to indicate the duration of the strike in a strike notice. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions has been formulating its proposal to amend the Labour Code and was planning to organize in 2006 a national conference on social partnership and labour relations with participation of the ILO. The suggestions and recommendations of the Confederation and the ILO would be then reflected in the proposal to amend the Labour Code and other related laws and legal provisions. Considering that the above prohibitions and requirements constitute a serious restriction on the free functioning of trade unions, the Committee hopes that the Labour Code will be amended in the near future and requests the Government to keep it informed of the developments in this respect.
