Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2007, publiée 97ème session CIT (2008)

The Committee refers to its previous direct request and asks the Government to provide information and texts concerning the following matters.

Article 3 of the Convention. Negotiated minimum service. In its previous comments, the Committee requested that the Government provide copies of any texts that implement the Labour Code with regard to the minimum service (sections 348, 352 and 354 of the Labour Code, according to the new numbering) and any other texts relating to the application of the Convention. The Committee once again asks the Government to provide copies of any Decree adopted on the minimum service and any other texts pertaining to the application of the Convention, and to indicate whether trade unions may take part in defining the minimum service if they so wish. The Government is also asked to give examples of instances in which the Government or enterprises involved in public management have had to resort to a minimum service during a strike, specifying the procedures for its implementation.

Political strikes. The Committee again requests that the Government provide details of the effect given to section 343(a) of the Labour Code, and particularly the specific reasons in each instance for the banning of a strike under this provision.
