Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 182. At its June 2003 meeting, the Committee noted the measures adopted by the Government with a view to implementing its recommendations regarding the reinstatement of dismissed SUTRAMACCSI officials, and requested the Government to continue to take steps to ensure that the “Sofia Imbert” Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas reinstated them in their posts. The Committee also noted in this connection that the authorities had proposed amendments to legislation relating to anti-union discrimination, and would be requesting the ILO’s technical assistance. The Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of developments with regard to the dismissed individuals and to legislation, and hoped that these matters would soon be satisfactorily resolved [see 331st Report, para. 101]. The dismissed officials referred to are Jorge Moreno (Secretary-General), José Gregorio González (Secretary), Delvis Beomont (Treasurer), Alfonso Perdomo (Public Relations Officer) and Omar Burgos (Secretary for Labour and Complaints) and Teresa Zottola and Sonia Chacón.
2. 183. In its communications of 9 and 13 June 2003, the Government states that Teresa Zottola, Jorge Moreno, Omar Burgos and Alfonso Perdomo have been reinstated in accordance with administrative rulings that also regulate back payment of wages.
3. 184. The Committee notes this information with satisfaction. The Committee requests the Government to inform it of all measures adopted to reinstate trade union officials José Gregorio González and Delvis Beomont and Sonia Chacón. The Committee has also been informed that a draft law to amend the labour legislation, in particular with regard to protection against anti-union discrimination, has been submitted to the Congress of the Republic. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in this respect.
