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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Benin (Ratification: 1960)

With reference to its previous comments on the need to confine restrictions on the right to strike to civil servants exercising authority in the name of the State or to services whose interruption would endanger the life, personal safety or health of the whole or part of the population, and to ensure that any prohibition is offset with the appropriate guarantees, the Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that the Bill which is being drafted has taken its comments into account.

However, the Committee notes that the Government's report does not contain information on the draft Labour Code which had been prepared with the technical assistance of the ILO. It requests the Government to supply information in its next report on the measures taken in this respect and to supply a copy of any legal text which is adopted, including the Labour Code, the Bill respecting strikes or any other relevant text.
