Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Ethiopia (Ratification: 1963)

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee takes due note of the Government's statement in its report that sections 113, 114 and 117 of the Proclamation on Labour ensure that workers' and employers' organizations have the right to organize freely without external interference.

Observing that the legislation contains no specific provisions, acompanied by effective and sufficiently dissuasive punishments, providing sanctions for an employer guilty of acts of interference in a workers' organization, particularly acts designed to support a workers' organization by financial or other means, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures it has taken or envisages to give full effect to this provision of the Convention.
