The Committee recalls that in its previous comments, it reminded the Government that a general prohibition on sympathy strikes could lead to abuse and that workers should be able to take such action provided the initial strike they are supporting is itself lawful [see General Survey of 1994 on freedom of association and collective bargaining, paragraph 168]. In its previous direct request, while noting that the Industrial Relations Act did not address sympathy strikes and had not yet been amended, the Committee requested the Government to indicate whether, in practice, workers may engage in sympathy strikes without incurring sanctions and all measures taken or envisaged in this regard. The Committee notes that regrettably no information has been provided by the Government in this regard. Therefore, the Committee once again urges the Government to guarantee that in practice workers may engage in sympathy strikes without incurring sanctions and, if necessary, to address this matter within the framework of the legislative review under way.
