Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

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

Further to its previous comments concerning the need to include in the labour legislation an express provision protecting workers' organizations against acts of interference, in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention, the Committee notes with interest the indication in the Government's report that the Special Law Review Committee on the review of the Industrial Relations Act has now submitted its report, which is under consideration by the Government.

The Committee recalls that specific legislative provisions accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions should be adopted to ensure protection against acts of interference (1994 General Survey on Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining, paragraph 232) and asks the Government to keep it informed of any progress in that matter, and to communicate a copy of any legislation adopted.
