The Committee notes the comments made by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) in a communication dated 10 August 2006 concerning the application of the Convention. The Committee notes that the ICFTU alleges frequent cases of anti-union discrimination and harassment, employers’ interference in trade union activities, violations of collective bargaining rights and denial of collective bargaining rights to public servants. The Committee requests the Government to provide with its next report its observations on the comments thereon.

The Committee will examine other matters raised in its previous direct request (see direct request 2005, 76th Session) in respect of the application of the Convention during the regular reporting cycle of 2007.
