The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report.

With reference to its comment on the prohibition of strikes or work stoppages by agricultural workers during harvests (sections 243(a) and 249 of the Labour Code), the Committee observes that the Government has not provided a response and it therefore refers to the comments it made in this respect in the context of Convention No. 87.

The Committee notes the statement by the Government that the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has promoted policies and reforms designed to facilitate the establishment of rural workers' trade union organizations. The Committee requests the Government to specify the type of policies and reforms undertaken, and to keep it informed of any activities or programmes conducted in this respect (Article 4 of the Convention).

Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to forward a copy of the relevant extracts of the Agreement on Social and Economic Affairs and the Situation in Agriculture, signed by the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unit (URNG) and the Government in 1996, as referred to in the report.
