Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - Iraq (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not contain a reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will supply full particulars on the points raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee requests the Government once again to indicate facilities that are afforded to workers' representatives in the light of the examples set out in Chapter IV of Recommendation No. 143 (such as: time off for attending trade union meetings, training courses, seminars, congresses and conferences; appropriate access to workplaces; notice boards, etc.) and asks it whether these are provided in the undertaking. The Committee also requests clarification of the role of the executive committee of the General Confederation of Trade Unions in obtaining time off for certain high-level union officers so that they may devote themselves to trade union activities (section 27(7) of the Trade Unions Act of 1987).

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
