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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Mongolia (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report concerning the various recent legislative changes in Mongolia, in particular the entry into force on 1 July 1992 of a new Labour Code.

Given the importance of voluntary negotiation set out in Article 4 of the Convention, the Committee asks the Government to clarify the meaning of section 8(2) of the new Labour Code which, in the unofficial English translation, reads: "The benefits determined more than in the legislation of the Mongolian People's Republic may be decided to grant (sic) from funds by the organisation by the collective agreement."

The Committee would also appreciate receiving details from the Government on how this new legislation has been working in practice and accordingly requests from it information on the number of collective agreements concluded to date, the sectors and number of workers covered, as well as copies of agreements.
