Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body - Report No 329, November 2002

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 114. At its November 2001 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the final outcome of the proceedings concerning the trade union leader, Mr. Delfín Quispe Saavedra [see 326th Report, paras. 127-129].
2. 115. In communications dated 15 April and 27 May 2002, the Government states that the two legal proceedings (on repayment of social benefits – which had already been declared without grounds – and the payment of arbitration awards – the appeal of which was quashed) initiated by Mr. Delfín Quispe Saavedra against the Iron and Steel Enterprise of Peru were withdrawn, and therefore there are no legal proceedings recorded on the invalidity of the dismissal of Mr. Delfín Quispe Saavedra.
3. 116. The Committee notes this information and recalls to the Government the general conclusion that it made at its first examination of the case in which it requested that the necessary measures be taken to ensure that in future the application of such staff reduction programmes is not used to carry out acts of anti-union discrimination [see 304th Report, para. 458].
