The Committee notes the comments of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) according to which collective bargaining rights are not being practiced in the Syrian Arab Republic. The Committee notes the Government’s response which provides information on section 89 and subsequent sections of Labour Code No. 91 of 1959 and section 18, paragraph (a)(ii) of Legislative Decree No. 84 of 1968 as amended, which allow for collective bargaining between employers or their organizations and workers’ organizations. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the practical application of these provisions, in particular the number of collective agreements signed during the last two years, as well as the sectors and number of workers covered by such agreements.
