A. A. The complainants' allegations
- Analysis of the Complaint
- 96 The complaint presented by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions alleges that the Hungarian Government is following a deliberate policy of subordinating the trade unions to the Government, by placing Communist Party members in positions of control in the trade unions and by suppressing any opposition which may arise. Under these circumstances, it is alleged, there is no possibility of trade union rights being respected.
- Communication of the Complaint to the Government
- 97 The complaint was transmitted to the Hungarian Government by letter of 20 April 1951.
- 98 There was no reply to this letter and, in accordance with the decisions taken by the Committee at its first and second sessions (January and March 1952), the Director-General on 22 January and 21 March 1952 sent letters of reminder to the Hungarian Government, asking it to transmit any observations it might wish to make to the International Labour Office before 15 February and 1 May 1952, respectively. A further letter of reminder was sent to the Hungarian Government on 3 May 1952.
- 99 No reply has yet been received from the Hungarian Government.
