The Committee notes the observations of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), received on 1 September 2014.

Article 3 of the Convention. Right of organizations to organize their activities and to formulate their programmes. The Committee recalls that for several years it has been requesting the Government to take measures to amend various provisions of Act No. 4/92 and Act No. 4-2002, which relate to certain obstacles concerning the exercise of the right to strike, with a view to bringing them into conformity with the Convention (see the Committee’s observation published in 2013).

The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that it has taken good note of the Committee’s comments and that the revision of the legislation referred to is planned. The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures within the framework of the planned revision of the legislation, in consultation with the social partners and, if it so wishes, with the technical assistance of the Office, to amend the legislative provisions referred to, and to provide information on any measures adopted in this respect.
