Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

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

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the legislation submitted by the Government does not contain: (1) provisions prohibiting acts of anti-union discrimination for every worker (not restricted to the workers' representatives); and (2) provisions protecting workers' and employers' organizations against acts of interference not only during collective bargaining, but also in the establishment, functioning and administration of workers' or employers' organizations. The Committee requests the Government to take measures to ensure that the legislation provides sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions against those acts.

Article 6. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether the rights and guarantees of the Convention apply to the public service and requests the Government to transmit the relevant legislative provisions.
