Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Philippines (Ratification: 1953)

With reference to its previous comments concerning the need to encourage and promote collective bargaining in the public sector, the Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its report according to which the draft Civil Service Code is currently being reviewed before it is submitted to the President for signing.

The Committee hopes that the said legislation will provide for the development of collective bargaining in the public sector in order to ensure the full application of Articles 4 and 6 of the Convention. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the above-mentioned Code as soon as it is adopted.
