Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

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:

1. Article 4. In relation to section 45(7) of the Registration, Status and Recognition of Trade Unions and Employers Organizations Act, the Committee requests the Government to clarify whether compulsory arbitration is possible in the framework of collective bargaining and under which circumstances.

2. Article 6. The Committee notes that, according to legislation, prison staff and fire personnel do not enjoy the rights and guarantees provided for in the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to take measures in order to grant to these categories of workers the rights and guarantees provided for in the Convention.
