Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

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:

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the practical effect given to the Convention and, in particular, to indicate the measures taken, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention, to encourage and promote the full development and utilisation of machinery for the voluntary negotiation of collective agreements between employers and workers. In this connection, it requests the Government to indicate the number of collective agreements concluded, the number of workers covered by the collective agreements and the sectors covered.

As regards Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention which are applied through Article 7 of the Labour Code, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether or not the legislation provides for sufficiently efficient and dissuasive sanctions, in addition to the payment of damages, for violations of that provision.
