Article 1 of the Convention. Adequate protection against acts of anti-union discrimination. In its previous comments, the Committee observed that while the General Labour Act No. 7/2015 does not establish specific fines penalizing acts of anti-union discrimination, section 308 provides generally that violations of the provisions of the Act and the related legislation shall be punishable by fines, the amount of which shall be fixed by a specific standard. The Committee notes that the Government confines itself to indicating that this question should be answered in the framework of the current legislative reforms (revision of the Collective Bargaining Act No. 20-A/92, the Trade Unions Act No. 21-D/92 and the Strikes Act No. 23/92). Noting that the Government does not indicate the standard to which section 308 of the General Labour Act of 2015 refers, the Committee requests the Government to ensure that the necessary legislative and regulatory measures are adopted in order to guarantee the application of sufficiently dissuasive penalties against acts of anti-union discrimination. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard.
Article 2. Adequate protection against acts of interference. The Committee noted previously that the General Labour Act of 2015 does not contain provisions specifically prohibiting acts of anti-union interference and that whereas the Trade Unions Act No. 21-D/92 prohibits obstacles to trade union activity in general terms (section 35), it does not specifically prohibit acts of interference. Regretting the absence of a reply on this point, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the legislation explicitly prohibits all of the acts covered by Article 2 of the Convention and that it provides for sufficiently dissuasive penalties in this respect.
Article 4. Measures to promote collective bargaining. In its previous comments, having noted the low number of collective agreements in force, the Committee requested the Government to provide information on the measures taken to promote collective bargaining at the enterprise level or at a higher level and to indicate the number of collective agreements in force and the number of workers covered by these collective agreements. Noting that the Government’s report does not contain information in this respect, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide the requested information.
