Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2000, Publicación: 89ª reunión CIT (2001)

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:

The Committee regrets that the Government has not forwarded either its report or its comments concerning the communication by the Confederation of Gabonese Free Trade Unions (CGSL), dated 20 May 1998, and the communications of the Federation of Energy, Mines and Allied Enterprises dated 14 May and 9 November 1998. These communications refer to acts of anti-union discrimination in different enterprises and to obstacles to collective bargaining. The Committee requests the Government to send its comments in this regard and recalls that the Convention requires a guarantee of adequate protection against acts of anti-union discrimination, and provides for the promotion of collective bargaining.

More precisely, the Committee requests the Government to ensure an investigation is undertaken and to inform it of the results.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
