The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee had previously requested the Government to amend section 19(f) of Act No. 12 of 1995 so that all workers are able to join more than one organization, if they so wish, in order to be able to defend their occupational interests in cases where they are engaged in more than one occupation. In this regard, the Committee had recalled that, under the terms of Article 2 of the Convention, workers have the right to join organizations of their own choosing without previous authorization and that this issue relates to the importance of ensuring that workers who hold more than one job are able to join a union to defend their occupational interests in each job category or occupation in which they work. As the Government’s report contains no specific reply on this matter, the Committee once again requests the Government to amend the legislation to enable workers to join more than one organization, if they so wish, to defend their occupational interests in cases where they are engaged in more than one occupation.
