The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee had previously noted that the Trade Union Recognition Act provided for compulsory recognition of trade unions based upon 40 per cent support of the workers. The Committee notes that according to the Government no measure is envisaged for minority unions to be granted bargaining rights. The Committee points out that when any trade union has less that 40 per cent support of the workers, bargaining rights should be granted to unions in the bargaining unit, at least on behalf of their own members. It asks the Government to indicate any measure envisaged to ensure full conformity with the Convention on this matter.
