Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2004, publiée 93ème session CIT (2005)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 3 of the Convention. Essential services. The Committee recalls that in its previous comments it had requested the Government to provide detailed information on any decisions rendered by the Industrial Relations Court under sections 45(3) and 47(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1996, in relation to the question of whether a particular strike involves an essential service, and notes the information from the Government that the Court has so far not registered any dispute in connection with those sections and, accordingly, has not rendered any decision in this regard.

The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information in future reports on any strikes declared illegal and the reasons thereof, as well as on any decisions rendered by the Industrial Relations Court under sections 45(3) and 47(2) of the Labour Relations Act, 1996.
