Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

Afficher en : Francais - EspagnolTout voir

With reference to its previous comment concerning section 7 of the Labour Code (the requirement of Senegalese nationality to hold trade union office) and sections 238 and 245 (the possibility of referring to binding arbitration in the event of a strike that is prejudicial to the public order or contrary to the general interest), the Committee notes with interest that the Government has set up a tripartite national commission to revise the Labour Code.

In this context, it is envisaged, among other measures, to make the provisions of the national legislation more flexible in order to permit foreign workers to hold trade union office after a period of residence, which remains to be determined, and to make the provisions concerning the right to strike more flexible (section 238) in order to bring them into conformity with the Convention.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the measures that are taken as a result of the work of the above commission.
