Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

The Committee notes the Government's report.

With reference to comments it has been making for many years on the need to grant the rights guaranteed by the Convention to workers of the Bank of Uganda, who cannot be considered as public servants engaged in the administration of the State, the Committee notes with satisfaction that the Trade Union Laws (miscellaneous amendments) Statute of 31 January 1993 has amended section 72(2)(c) of the Trade Unions Decree, No. 20 of 1976, by removing the employees of the Bank of Uganda from the category of employees who are restricted from becoming members of a trade union, and that these workers are now entitled to join unions and to negotiate their terms and conditions of employment collectively.
