Article 4 of the Convention. Right to collective bargaining. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that according to section 180 of the new Labour Code 2010 (Act No. 4 of 2010), the minister shall, after consultations with stakeholders, make regulations respecting the recognition of bargaining agents. The Committee requested the Government to indicate the measures taken in this regard and to provide a copy of such regulations once adopted. The Committee notes that the Government indicated in its prior report that a request had been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers but that in its latest report the Government indicates that there has been no new development. The Committee reiterates its previous request and underlines the importance that the determination of bargaining agents be based on clear, objective and predetermined criteria.
