Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

The Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government in its report. It notes in particular that under article 11 of the 1988 Constitution the election of a representative is mandatory in enterprises with more than 200 workers, but not in enterprises with less than 200 workers, although it is not forbidden. The Committee expresses the hope that specific provisions will be adopted to apply the Articles of the Convention not only in enterprises with more than 200 workers but also in smaller enterprises, setting out for both types of enterprise reasonable criteria as to the number of representatives, so as to ensure that the Convention is better applied.

With regard to the formalities concerning draft legislation on trade unions and workers' representatives in the enterprise, and on collective bargaining, the Committee again asks the Government to keep it informed of any developments in this respect and to send copies of the texts once they have been adopted.
