The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It recalls that its previous comments referred to the following points.

Articles 3 and 10 of the Convention.Right to strike. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 183 of the Labour Code, read together with section 189, appeared to provide for a form of compulsory arbitration placing too great a restriction on the right to strike of trade union organizations. It would appear that these trade union organizations are bound to follow specific procedures before the Conciliation Council and, if this is not successful, before the competent court, strikes being banned for the duration of these procedures and once there is a final and binding decision. The Committee trusts that, in the process under way of revising the Labour Code, the Government will take due account of the need to amend section 189 to allow trade union organizations to resort to strikes in the event of disagreement with the final decision. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken or envisaged in this regard.

Right of organizations of public servants not exercising authority in the name of the State to formulate their programmes in defence of the occupational interests of their members, including recourse to collective action and to strikes. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that no provisions in the law refer to the granting of the right to strike for public servants not exercising authority in the name of the State or the conditions under which it may be exercised, and noted the Government’s intention to have procedures established for the exercise of the right to strike of this category of public servants. The Committee requests the Government to indicate without delay any measures taken or envisaged in this regard.
