Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

The Committee notes the first report supplied by the Government.

The Committee notes with satisfaction that, between the ratification of the Convention and the provision of the first report, the National Congress amended the Labour Code to give better effect to the Convention. In practical terms, through the amendments to the Labour Code, protection has been strengthened against acts of anti union discrimination and interference and collective bargaining is permitted for temporary and casual workers. The Committee notes that this process was preceded by the technical assistance of the Office at the request of the Government.

The Committee is also raising a series of matters concerning the application of the Convention in a direct request.
