Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 4 of the Convention. The Government states that the representatives of trade union organizations and of "any other professional grouping" may conclude agreements on behalf of the organization that they represent.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the representatives of these "professional groupings" can negotiate a collective agreement on behalf of a group of workers where a trade union organization has already been established and, if so, under what conditions.
