Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Belarus (Ratification: 1956)

Article 4 of the Convention. With reference to its previous request, the Committee notes from the Government's report that the provisions of the Convention are applied by the national legislation.

The Committee also notes that a Congress of Byelorussian SSR trade unions was held in October 1990 at which a draft agreement was adopted on the social guarantees needed as a result of the switch to a market economy.

The Committee asks the Government to provide the text of this agreement. It also requests it to provide information on any measures taken or envisaged with regard to collective bargaining as a result of the profound economic changes now taking place.
