Suites données aux recommandations du comité et du Conseil d’administration - Rapport No. 313, Mars 1999

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 43. The Committee last examined this case at its June 1997 meeting (see 307th Report, paras. 39 to 41). The Committee had requested the Government, with respect to the revocation of the decision to suspend the activities of the Pak China Fertilizer Limited Employees' Union, to forward it a copy of the said decision delivered by the Industrial Relations Commission (NIRC) on appeal. Regarding the dismissal of Messrs. Hakam Khan and Manzoor Hussain, the Committee had requested the Government to keep it informed of the status of the labour court proceedings and any further appeal on this matter, and to forward to it a copy of the judgement as soon as it would be rendered.
2. 44. In its communication dated 2 February 1999, the Government forwards a decision of the NIRC of 28 May 1997 which rules that the appeal concerning the revocation of the decision to suspend the Pak China Fertilizer Limited Employees' Union is accepted and that the case is remanded to the lower court and that a decision should be rendered within two months. The decision of the NIRC also mentions that the said union will continue to be suspended until the decision is rendered.
3. 45. While taking note of this decision of 28 May 1997, the Committee observes that the Government had stated in its previous communication that the Registrar of Trade Unions had reinstated the union on 5 April 1997. Therefore, the Committee requests the Government to indicate what is the current status of the union and to confirm that it is able to carry out its activities normally. With regard to the dismissal of Messrs. Hakam Khan and Manzoor Hussain, the Committee urges the Government to indicate the status of the labour court proceedings and to forward it a copy of the relevant judgement as soon as it is rendered.
