Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Comoros (Ratification: 1978)

With reference to its previous comment, the Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that, following the establishment of trade union organisations in both the public and private sectors, the practice of collective bargaining is tending to be introduced and its principle is now accepted. The Committee notes in this connection that discussions were held between the Government and the representatives of teachers concerning their conditions of employment and wages. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the outcome of these discussions.

The Committee also notes from the Government's report that in the absence of employers' organisations a copy of the report was sent to the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, and it requests the Government to supply information on the manner in which collective bargaining is carried out in the public and private sectors, including the number of agreements concluded, the workers covered by them and the sectors concerned.
