Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

In its previous comments, the Committee pointed out that the provisions of the Act do not give workers' organisations sufficient protection against acts of interference, as provided for by Article 2 of the Convention. It has been requesting the Government since 1977 to include an express provision in the legislation for this purpose. The Committee noted from the observations of the Mauritius Labour Congress sent in 1984 that a committee set up to examine the replacement of the Industrial Relations Act of 1973 has submitted its report. The Committee trusts that this step will give rise in the near future to the inclusion in the Act of an express provision covering appropriate procedures and penalties, to ensure that the guarantees set forth in Article 2 of the Convention are respected. The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
