Suites données aux recommandations du comité et du Conseil d’administration - Rapport No. 344, Mars 2007

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 210. The Committee last examined this case at its May–June 2006 meeting [see 342nd Report, paras 161–163]. The case involves allegations of anti-union discrimination and interference in trade union activities by the company New Seed Processing Industry Oil of Togo (NIOTO). At the time of meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of the legal proceedings concerning Mr Awity’s dismissal. Should it emerge that the dismissal was indeed motivated by anti-union discrimination, the Committee requested the Government to take immediate action to ensure that Mr Awity was reinstated and to keep it informed of any measures taken.
2. 211. The Committee notes that, in a communication of 28 June 2006, the Government states that, through Ruling No. 122/05 of 20 December 2005, the Labour Court of Lomé ruled that the dismissal of Mr Awity Boko by the company NIOTO was lawful and legitimate, and provides the Committee with a copy of this ruling.
3. 212. The Committee takes note of this information.
