Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body
Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body- 35. The Committee examined this case concerning the non-implementation of
the collective agreement concluded with the Union of Statistics Workers of the National
Institute of Statistics (STINE) at its March 2011 meeting. On that occasion [see 359th
Report, paras 63–66], the Committee deeply regretted the time which had passed since the
signing of the collective agreement without that agreement being implemented and
recalled once again that collective agreements must be binding for both parties. Noting
that the case was still awaiting a second judicial hearing, the Committee urged the
Government to take measures to ensure that the ongoing procedures were concluded in the
very near future and to keep it informed of any developments in that regard.
- 36. The Committee takes note of the Government’s communication of 10
August 2015 in which it forwards the observations of the National Institute of
Statistics (INE). This administration indicates that: (i) the appeal for annulment of
the collective agreement filed by the INE was dismissed in 2013; and (ii) at the
invitation of the STINE, in conformity with article 11 of the aforementioned agreement,
the new INE administration agreed to establish an agreement implementation committee
that meets several times per month, as a result of which most of the provisions of the
collective agreement are being implemented and the consequences of the budget
restrictions imposed by the Government are being addressed. The Committee notes with
interest these developments. In the event that the information forwarded by the
Government is not contested by the complainant organization, the Committee will not
pursue its examination of this case.
