Previous comment

Article 1 of the Convention. Basic human rights. Freedom of association. The Committee notes with concern that the report of the Government does not provide information, in reply to its previous comments, on the protection of the right to organize of all foreign nationals. In this regard, it notes that the United Nations Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (CMW) expressed concern at the fact that undocumented migrant workers cannot join trade unions (CMW/C/ALB/CO/2, 8 May 2019, paragraph 41). In this context, the Committee also refers to the comment it addresses to the Government on the application of the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organize Convention, 1948 (No. 87). The Committee requests the Government to take action to ensure that all foreign workers, regardless of their immigration status, can exercise trade union rights, and to provide information in this regard.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
