Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Cameroon (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that measures are to be taken to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention, and expresses the firm hope that sections 6(2) and 166 of the 1992 Labour Code, under which a fine of from 50,000 to 500,000 francs may be imposed on members responsible for the administration or management of a non-registered union, who act as if the union were registered, will be repealed in the near future so as to ensure that all workers, and particularly public employees, teachers, persons who form trade unions and trade union leaders, have adequate protection against acts calculated to do them harm by reason of union membership or because of participation in union activities. The Committee asks the Government to provide in its next report the texts of any measures taken to this end.
