Scope of the Convention. Self-employed workers. In light of the recommendations of the Committee on Freedom of Association in Case No. 2786 (Report No. 383 October 2017), the Committee requested the Government to consult with all stakeholders with a view to ensuring that self-employed workers can engage in collective bargaining. The Committee regrets that it has not received any information on this matter and reiterates that it considers that such consultations will make it possible to identify the appropriate modifications to introduce in relation to collective bargaining mechanisms, in order to facilitate their application to self-employed workers. The Committee encourages the Government to address this matter in the Round Table dealing with international labour standards, as well as in the framework of the revision of the Labour Code. The Committee requests the Government to provide information in this respect.

Right to collective bargaining in practice. Private sector. The Committee requested the Government to continue taking measures to encourage and promote collective bargaining and to provide statistics including data on the total number of collective agreements in force in the country, indicating the sectors and number of workers covered, as well as on the measures adopted to encourage and promote collective bargaining. In the absence of information from the Government, the Committee once again reiterates its previous request.
