Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body
  1. 26. The Committee last examined this case at its October 2018 meeting [see 387th Report, paras 141–151]. On this occasion, the complainant organization – the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Cameroon (CSIC) – denounced the non-remittance of trade union dues deducted at source and also the lack of mechanisms to ensure the impartiality of workers’ representative elections. In its recommendations, the Committee requested the complainant organization to provide further information as to why it considers that the legislation in force does not offer adequate guarantees and why it did not challenge the results of the trade union elections of 2014 and 2016 before the courts. The Committee also requested the Government and the complainant organization to take all necessary measures vis-à-vis the company concerned to resolve the issue of the deduction of the contributions of National Union of Electric Energy (SNEE) members.
  2. 27. In its communication dated 5 March 2020, the Government indicates that there are no grounds for referring to discrimination by the public service concession holder and that it was for the trade union claiming to have suffered injury to have recourse to the competent judicial body, in accordance with section 126-1 of the Labour Code. With regard to the issue of non-remittance of trade union dues deducted at source, the Government indicates that the company in question, in the interests of harmonious industrial relations and fairness, adopted a precautionary measure involving non-remittance of union dues to one of the factions on account of the leadership dispute affecting the management of the SNEE, pending a court decision on the matter.
  3. 28. The Committee notes the information sent by the Government and requests it to provide a copy of the judicial decision which is due concerning the internal dispute that continues to divide the SNEE and its impact on the remittance of trade union dues deducted at source. With regard to the allegations that the legislation in force does not offer adequate guarantees and the reasons why the results of the trade union elections of 2014 and 2016 were not challenged before the courts, the Committee notes that the complainant organization has not provided the requested information. In view of these circumstances, the Committee will not pursue its examination of this issue.
