Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

The Committee notes the observations of 10 August 2006 by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), which refer largely to outstanding issues of law and practice relating to the Convention which are already under examination, and to provisions of the 2002 law on special economic zones exempting investment companies newly established in the zones from the legal provisions on the organization of labour, and to anti-union acts in a number of enterprises in the zones, including pressure on members to leave unions. The Committee notes the recent reply from the Government which it will examine at its next session.

The Committee requests the Government, in the context of the regular reporting cycle, to send for examination at the Committee’s next session, to be held in November-December 2007, its comments on all the matters of law and practice concerning the Convention raised in the Committee’s previous observation (see 2005 observation, 76th Session).
