Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body
  1. 73. At its March 1998 meeting, the Committee had requested the Government to keep it informed of any progress made in providing express legislative protection against blacklisting or other forms of discrimination based on past trade union membership or activities (see 309th Report, paras. 34-36).
  2. 74. In its communication of 27 May 1998, the Government informs the Committee of the publication of a consultative White Paper entitled "Fairness at work" which contains a proposal to outlaw both discrimination against trade union members and the blacklisting of trade union activists. The Government indicates its intention to provide in due course full details of its proposed action in this regard.
  3. 75. The Committee notes this information with interest and encourages the Government to adopt, as soon as possible, provisions ensuring protection against anti-union discrimination, including blacklisting, based on trade union membership or activities. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of the consultation process and the status of the proposals.
