Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

Article 2 of the Convention. Right of workers and employers without distinction whatsoever, to establish and to join organizations of their own choosing and without previous authorization. Requirements for the establishment of an organization. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that in a draft Labour Code the minimum founding membership for a trade union and for an employers’ organization had been reduced from 30 to 20 and from ten to six, respectively. It had requested the Government to keep it informed of new developments concerning the draft and to submit a copy of the Code. The Committee notes that the Government indicates that the draft Labour Code had passed into law but has been placed on hold by the new Government and that it is currently with the Attorney-General. The Committee again hopes that the new legislation will soon be applicable and requests the Government to submit a copy of the legislation with its next report.
