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

1. 67. The Committee last examined this case at its June 2008 meeting [see the 350th Report, paras 63 to 65]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government to indicate whether Mr Bonilla Vargas and Mr Marín Tovar, members of SINTRATELEFONOS who were dismissed by the Bogotá Telecommunications Enterprise (according to the allegations, with the aim of creating a climate of intimidation, without first informing the union) had initiated legal proceedings against the decision to dismiss them.
2. 68. In a communication of 15 September 2008, the Government indicates that Mr Bonilla Vargas initiated legal proceedings against the Bogotá Telecommunications Enterprise in the Sixth Labour Court of the Bogotá Circuit seeking reinstatement and the award of the benefits and wages owed from the date of his dismissal until his reinstatement. The proceedings are still pending. With regard to Mr Marín Tovar, according to the information provided by the enterprise, he has not taken any legal action.
3. 69. The Committee notes this information and requests the Government to keep it informed of the final outcome of the proceedings initiated by Mr Bonilla Vargas.
