Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

The Committee takes note of the Government's first report.

However, it wishes to be supplied with information on the content of collective agreements, and on the regulations and practice of Aruba which protect workers' representatives in the undertaking against any act prejudicial to them, including dismissal, based on their status or activities as workers' representatives (and in particular the sectors covered) (Article 1 of the Convention).

In the light of the examples contained in Recommendation No. 143, the Committee also wishes to obtain more information on the measures that have been taken so that facilities are afforded to workers' representatives, in both the private and the public sectors, in order to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently (access of workers' representatives to all workplaces, access to the management, the posting of trade union notices, the distribution of trade union publications and the other facilities enumerated in Recommendation No. 143) (Article 2).

The Committee requests the Government to supply this information in its next report.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
