Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its report on the practical effect given to Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention.

It requests the Government to send a copy of the revised legislation relating to labour law as soon as it is enacted. The Committee notes that according to the information supplied by the Government, the Commission of Inquiry established by Government Notice No. 453 of 6 October 1986 which deals with issues relating to collective bargaining for the teaching sector has not yet issued its report.

The Committee must insist once again that measures be taken to encourage and promote the development and utilization of machinery for the voluntary negotiation of collective agreements in the teaching sector.

The Committee asks the Government to communicate in its next report any progress made in this respect.
