Article 2 of the Convention. Facilities to enable workers’ representatives to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently. The Committee recalls that its previous comments referred to the need to amend section 175(2) of the Labour Code which prohibits employers from deducting trade union dues from the wages of their employees and from paying the dues in their stead. The Committee notes with satisfaction that section 187 of the new Labour Code (Act No. 2012-45 of 25 September 2012) now provides for the possibility of deducting trade union dues from wages, subject to the written authorization of the worker concerned who states the trade union of his or her choice.
