Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Protection against employer interference. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate any measures taken or envisaged to further protect against any possible employer intimidation or interference in respect of union certification or decertification. The Committee requests the Government to provide information, in its next report, in this regard and to consider other ways of ensuring protection against acts of interference.

Coverage of management personnel. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate any measures taken or envisaged to include management personnel within the scope of the Trade Union Act so as to guarantee them the rights established by the Convention. The Government had indicated that the Labour Advisory Council is in the process of finalizing a process of consideration of specific amendments to the Act which will help to protect employees generally and, specifically, will include management personnel within the scope of the Trade Union Act. The Committee requests the Government to transmit, with its next report, the amended Trade Union Act.

The Committee hoped that it would soon be able to note progress on these two issues.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
